I am 🌝ng over you.
The Red top burger shop in Merritt has been renovated. The restaurant closed for years and once operated by the famed Edna Taylor with her husband Al as an independent after being a Mr. Mike’s franchise, the relationship with Mr Mike’s soured and contributed to Als death. Edna operated Red Top as a widow withots of support from local business including her brother-in-law. The famous Ted Taylor who had a jewelry store and was a legion member extraordinaire.
The recent items included steel doors and trap closures that prevented it from being a hovel for dispossessed people.
It looks like it is ready for tenancy. It appears to be unlisted. A source says an first Nations band was the renovator and they’re going to use it for office space.
Edna Taylor had the same middle name, Marion; as John Wayne’s name, The Duke from cowboy fame had it as his real first name.
So, born in Salmon arm in 1927, Edna passed from this life in 2005.

The Earth has ocean currents and air currents. Every kind of vortex, wind, tunnels, wind shears and the whole kitt caboodle gives us predictable weather and most instances.
Our moon stands solid withness and pulls on our oceans and our currents and gives us predictable weather

A picture view of the timeline with little opinion…

Tom Edwards prunes the tree at the Bailey house downtown information center on Voght Street in Merritt, BC. Somebody said careful that ladder don’t fall and guess what? In Merritt, there’s only a few leaves that have turned color.

The full moon this October is a supermoon and on the 6th the forecast for the temperature in Merritt, 600 meters above sea level and in the BC Central South interior will experience another super hunter/harvest Moon.
The full Harvest Moon on October 6, 2025, is a significant celestial event, as it is also a Supermoon.Harvest Supermoon DetailsTime of FullnessThe Moon will reach its moment of peak illumination (fullness) at 8:48 P.M. PDT on Monday, October 6, 2025, in Merritt, British Columbia.Moonrise and DirectionFor observers in Merritt, BC, the full Moon will: * Rise at 6:09 P.M. PDT on Monday, October 6, 2025. * Direction: It will rise generally towards the East, near the horizon, a characteristic of the full Moon around the autumnal equinox. The optimal time to view its golden-orange hue is shortly after it rises.The Supermoon EffectThe Harvest Moon on October 6, 2025, is the first of three consecutive Supermoons this year, meaning it occurs close to perigee (the Moon’s closest point to Earth in its orbit).Distance from EarthWhile the Moon’s exact distance is constantly changing, the full Moon phase on October 6 will be at a close distance. The closest point in the orbit (perigee) for this full moon period is around 226,250 miles (approximately 364,117 kilometers). This distance is significantly closer than the average Earth-Moon distance of about 239,000 miles.Why it’s a SupermoonA Supermoon is a full Moon that occurs near perigee. Due to this closer distance, it will appear slightly larger (about 6.6% larger) and noticeably brighter (about 13% brighter) than a typical full Moon.What makes it the Harvest MoonThe Harvest Moon is simply the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox (the start of fall). Because the equinox in 2025 was on September 22, the full Moon on October 6 is the closest one to that date, earning it the title of Harvest Moon. This timing causes the Moon to rise relatively close to sunset for several nights, providing extra twilight illumination for farmers, which is how it got its name.

We were very active back then, surrounded by great people. It was easy. We missed toastmasters myself. I was the conductor of a speechcraft for youth for about a decade…
Helen came up a little short of being 100 years old. Passed a few years ago and most everybody else is still living and happy. Oops Liz Laird is gone.
Please comment if you have any comments about toastmasters or about public speaking or any of these fine people.
I am posting this because I briefly talked to a young lady that had a nice jacket on that said 4-H, and I remember Gloria Capp as one of our members was very much involved in 4-H. She was a rancher and she nurtured young people into the ability to raise a calf to a cow and numbers of other 4-H things. We enjoyed some canned fruit at her house that she had done and they did that in that 4-H program. It was very close to the toastmasters program that sort of thing and
I guessed the young lady’s age at 20 and she said try 35. She looked like a baby.
We go around, zoom around and where we stop, Nobody wants to know…
Merritt BC,Canada…good stop to talk and be keen…
Hey Merit what do you say?
