Old is relative

Single family caving may have had a rocky start according to the interpretation of new intermination we received.

Time is relevant to space

November night sky

Watch for a Beaver Moon on November 15th. Also known as a frosty Moon or a dark moon. This Moon’s full face will be illuminated, it is the last of the three super moons of this year.

The wisdom of ending cycles + the soul’s personal growth 💕  under scrutiny.

November 1st

There will be A new moon on November 1st, but because it’s on the opposite side  it will be dark and not visible at that time. The time between this new moon and when the full moons face will be fully illuminated is the dark Moon.

This is a good time for you to end some things and begin some other things for your personal growth. We recommend that you respect this opportunity and take full advantage of it. KDG

What to think

A dark moon, or a new moon, is a phase where the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making its illuminated side facing away from us. As a result, it appears completely dark in the night sky.
Here’s how you can view a dark moon:
* Timing is Key:
   * A new moon occurs roughly every 29.5 days.
   * You won’t be able to see the moon with the naked eye during this phase.
* Look for Earthshine:
   * Sometimes, a faint glow can be seen on the dark side of the moon. This is called “earthshine” and is caused by sunlight reflecting off the Earth and illuminating the moon’s surface.
   * To observe earthshine, you’ll need a clear, dark sky and possibly binoculars or a telescope to enhance the view.
* Stargazing Opportunities:
   * A new moon offers excellent conditions for stargazing.
   * With no moonlight to interfere, you can see fainter stars, constellations, and celestial objects more clearly.
Remember, a dark moon isn’t about seeing the moon itself, but rather about the celestial wonders that become visible in its absence.

Good luck

Gentle Tuesday,Half the cost of Halloween.

The estimates in some people’s view. Is that to clean up garbage in that Pacific trough there? There would be a great amount of it, a significant amount of it and some people view all of it for what the United States spends on Halloween

So, start planning your Halloween costume now. Make a statement!

Alow All levels of government to catch up after covid.

The government has announced that it’s going to be tougher to find temporary workers and students from other countries will be having more trouble. This seems to be generating a little bit of a bad will with those affected, which maybe you and me eventually. However

Growth a determinate

Both this is determined in  economic planning and demographics and everything that goes into a plan to expand somewhere without growth. It’s you know I don’t know. Hard to imagine.

Be adaptable. Be flexible. Another new challenge.

Some notes

Refresh your soul, rise in the rhythm and beat…

Yes, you can and may…

Saturday SOP

You made it to the weekend now. Relax a little bit with some cozy Autumn morning live music.

Cry, why, sing, fling, tears toddle off.

So,  the sense to go on needs the sense to be victorious and overcoming. The essence of faith is power not collapse.

Tanker traffic up…

The amount of tractor traffic off Vancouver is increasing exponentially with trans mountains, a new ability to move Alberta oil from the BC Coast. Recently a shipment. I left Vancouver for Alaska, the first in about a decade.

TMX

The recent completion of the Trans mountain expansion, another line going along the one from the 1950s has tripled the ability to move tarsands oil or Alberta oil to other markets.

50 basis points cut

So, that’s an experience that is developing. Possibly up to $50,000 purchasing power. Added to buying a home today.

Rate cut

Some hope,  some relief in the cost of housing in Canada.

Preparation

Once in a hundred years? 

This event was documented as a once in a hundred year event. There was clearly some preparation and a sense of relaxing in it. The deluge came very quickly; officials are looking to see if this is a new normal.
