A week Saturday, Bird count coming…
The Nicola Naturalists society is doing the local bird count on Saturday the 16th of December. t
The count will be the 25th in the local area. Data goes ultimately to the Audubond Since 1901 group for the worldwide count.

Hydrogen has been gaining attention as a potential fuel for consumer use due to its clean and renewable nature. It can be used in fuel cell vehicles, which convert hydrogen into electricity to power the vehicle, emitting only water vapor as a byproduct. Here are some key points about hydrogen as a fuel:
As technological advancements continue, hydrogen has the potential to play a significant role in the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.

Look up to the light.
Charge your web for the best prey stickyess effect.
The best defence is a strong offence: in your web “don’t waste the protein , Look up and use the light”.
Spider webs are fascinating structures created by spiders to capture prey and provide shelter. They are made from silk, which is produced by special glands in the spider’s abdomen. When a spider spins its web, it uses different types of silk with varying strengths and stickiness.
The architecture of spider webs can vary greatly among species, but they all serve the same purpose of catching prey. Some spiders create intricate orb-shaped webs, while others weave tangled cobwebs or funnel-shaped webs. The design and location of the web depend on the spider’s hunting habits and the types of prey it targets.
Spider webs are incredibly strong and elastic, capable of trapping insects and even small birds or bats. The silk is thin and transparent, making it nearly invisible to unsuspecting prey. When an insect comes into contact with the web, the spider can sense the vibrations and quickly immobilize its prey with a venomous bite.
Additionally, spider webs have inspired scientists and engineers in various fields. The intricacy and efficiency of spider web design has influenced the development of materials such as super-strong fibers and lightweight construction techniques. By studying spider webs, researchers hope to unlock new possibilities for applications in areas such as medicine, robotics, and aerospace.
If you would like to learn more about spiders or their remarkable webs, I recommend watching the video you shared: Electric Charge – Look up to the Light.
Remember, spiders play an important role in controlling insect populations and maintaining a balanced ecosystem, so next time you come across a spider web, take a moment to appreciate its beauty and marvel at the incredible abilities of these arachnids.
The web is stronger then steel by volume….
The Geminid meteor shower is an annual celestial event known for its spectacular meteor display. It occurs every December when the Earth passes through a trail of debris left by an asteroid named 3200 Phaethon. The Geminids are named after the constellation Gemini, as they appear to radiate from this point in the sky.
In 2023, the Geminid meteor shower is expected to peak on the night of December 13th and continue into the early hours of December 14th. During this time, stargazers can anticipate seeing an increased number of meteors streaking across the sky. The Geminids are known for their bright, colorful fireballs, making them one of the most enjoyable meteor showers to observe.
To fully enjoy the Geminid meteor shower, it is recommended to find a location away from city lights and obstacles that obstruct the view of the sky. Lie back, be patient, and give your eyes some time to adjust to the darkness. With a clear sky and a little luck, you may witness a memorable show as the Geminids light up the night!
Good luck
The concept of a perfect solar system can be subjective, as each planet and celestial body in our solar system has its own unique characteristics and qualities that make it special. However, if we were to consider certain aspects that contribute to the overall harmony and functionality of our solar system, we can appreciate its remarkable nature. Here are some key features:
While there may not be a single definition of a “perfect” solar system, the intricate interplay of these elements within our solar system makes it a fascinating and awe-inspiring cosmic arrangement.
What technology would you be better off without, why?
Prognositication takes the mystery and adventure in life and makes you a pawn in the addventure of discovery. So a little less algorithm accreditation and direction from machines would be excitng.Hey Hal!
Predictable is boaring, unless you are the predictor.
The future is an intriguing concept that encompasses the events, discoveries, and advancements that are yet to occur. It holds the promise of new technologies, scientific breakthroughs, societal changes, and countless possibilities. While we cannot predict the exact details of what the future will bring, we can anticipate that it will be shaped by our collective actions, innovations, and choices. Embracing the unknown and being open to change can help us navigate the future with curiosity and optimism. Let’s approach it with a sense of wonder and a readiness to adapt and grow.
The weather in Merritt is quite good.

The Company has recently completed a second drive through lane at MacDonalds off Voght adjacent to to Belshaw avenue going to highways 5 and 5A leaving Merritt to the north and east.
Construction is on with traffic controls near the RCMP station short delays have been the norm.
Hey Merit what do you say?
