Who provokes

Interdependency is not nuclear proliferation.

Norad

That giant shock absorber on huge springs sitting underneath the joint command center of NORAD at Colorado Springs in the States is not here in Canada. Although Canadian personnel are involved down there, there’s no protection for us.

Dew line

The distant early warning line that went across our Arctic for years with the pine tree line that went across our Southern portion gave the Americans protection for decades until it was replaced by satellites. We, as Canadians were particularly vulnerable from the provocation of such things that precluded good relations through trade with world countries.

Greenland NSA

National security for the Region is not enhanced for Canada by the US having Greenland. It’s just another provocation for our Southern neighbours to dole out as it dominates. And we are less safe with them owning it…

Sell the blades give the razor

Sell the blades give the razor, another US dependency, this iconic marketing ploy from the marketers was subverted by the doctrine of “interdependency” in a global world. That system sought peace through engagement, even if it was razor blades, innovation was protected in local markets by local limitations on the manufacturer. This was true for all nations for domestic trading. There is no such thing as worldwide patents. Yes, the United States has tariffs to deal with that sort of thing. If they think it’s unfair but you can’t have it both ways!

So why provoke.

So who owns who…

Go Jobbers go…

Insulting is as insulting does.

Great conjuctions

Tonight it’s out there.. can you see it? How’s your weather?.

Catch I fish by the tail and the new moon on the 23rd Western sky after sunset. Look for Saturn by Neptune close to the new moon.

DDT

Daily writing prompt
If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

If I was to uninvent something I would consider,DDT, and other abused chemicals used harshly on the environment.

DDT, or dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, is a synthetic insecticide that was widely used during the mid-20th century for controlling pests in agriculture and for combating disease vectors like mosquitoes. Initially praised for its effectiveness, DDT began to raise environmental and health concerns as its accumulation led to ecological damage and adverse effects on wildlife, particularly birds, contributing to population declines. The publication of Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring in 1962 highlighted these issues, fostering public awareness and concern. Consequently, many countries imposed bans or restrictions on DDT in the 1970s and 1980s, leading to a significant reduction in its use. However, some regions still allow its use for malaria control, underscoring a complex debate between public health needs and environmental safety.

This historic building in downtown Marathon, the corner of Quilchena avenue and Vought Street, is iconic to the culture and presence of people of Nicola valley?.

A Cowgirl at a cultural event in Merritt, The Coldwater hotel going back to the beginning of the last century has had a dynamic effect on the culture.

One industry for many years was ranching and has also been passed down from generation to generation and from gender to gender.

Celebrated many times in era hotels such as the Coldwater and the Adelphia. With others joining The fray when a mixed economy bought more virtue to the city.

You are alright, 👌 Don’t doubt it. Even if you’re off right now, you don’t have to deny it. However, you should apologize it to your own psyche saying “I’m a normal person and my responses to this point is normal.”

Take care of yourself by seeking support if it’s interference is creating habits that are unhealthy. And once again remembering that you’re most likely having a normal response to a stimulus.

Slogan to proclaim when seeking:

Don’t dread it. Don’t spread it, Don’t loan it, phone it.
