Seasonal affective disorder.
Well this is not a clinical diagnosis, we observed that this condition is out there and would say from a non-professional point of view then it must help with the people that suffer from it. So let your joy come from you but enjoy every little bit helps hey…
Harry Sanders, was bit of a legend about Merritt. We remember him as hosting the social credit party at his home in lower Nicola for their AGM’s. But Harry was a contractor with equipment. Lots of male sons. And a penchant for opportunities. One of them he saw at one point was an ability to bridge a small Creek or area and a temporary but more permanent way that would be easy in and easy out without much damage so as to protect the environment and also to expedite doing work in the forests and streams.
Innovation
By cutting apart large pieces of pipeline pipe, and that was in surplus. He managed to make a small portable bridge, he could cross a stream with a similarly to the Roman concept of using Stone arches for their bridging. The value of these is self-evident.
So I don’t know how many prototypes he made but this one was in the industrial area sitting for numbers of years. So I took a picture of it as I went by knowing Harry or more to the point I knew his sons. I know more of Harry than I did him.
But darn and be gosh if he didn’t, long past his departure from this life. The legacy in that piece was laying. There and now seems to have been revived as some very nice advertising is online about enviro bridge and some of them are being sold and being manufactured again here in Merritt British Columbia.

The Nicola and naturalist society says in their publications that everyone is welcome to their non-profit showings at the theater at the local college at top of the hill belford avenue in Merritt. Donations and memberships are welcomed. No food or drink in the lecture. Theater free parking.
Oh, it’s all about dark matter and dark energy. What’s going on here? Maybe the 7th heaven is the throne of God and some of these lower heavens are more than just myth.

The transition from fall to winter can be benchmarked by observing a combination of astronomical, meteorological, and natural signs.❄️ Three Benchmarks for the Fall-to-Winter Transition1. Astronomical Benchmark: The Winter SolsticeThis is the official start of astronomical winter and is the point of the year with the shortest day and longest night. * What to Look For: The Winter Solstice occurs around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. While it’s the beginning of winter, it also marks the turning point where the daylight hours begin to increase again.2.
Meteorological Benchmark:
Sustained Temperature DropMeteorologists define winter as the three coldest months of the year, which are typically December, January, and February in the Northern Hemisphere. The key transition sign is a persistent drop in the average daily temperature. * What to Look For: * Average Temperatures: The average daily high temperature consistently drops below freezing (0°C or 32°F) or remains in the lower single digits for an extended period. * Precipitation: The primary form of precipitation reliably changes from rain to snow, sleet, or freezing rain. * Frost: Heavy, persistent frost becomes a nightly occurrence, often lasting well into the day.3.
Natural Benchmark: Biological Dormancy and Migration
This benchmark involves observing significant changes in plant and animal life that signal preparation for the harsh cold.
The vast majority of deciduous trees are fully bare (leaf drop is complete), and all herbaceous plants have withered and died back, entering a state of dormancy.
Wild life
* Birds:
The complete migration of local flocks of common seasonal birds (like robins or specific geese/ducks species) has finished.
* Mammals/Insects:
Small mammals like squirrels become intensely focused on food caching before periods of severe cold, and many insects disappear or go into diapause (hibernation).
