Friends in  the Near East, send them an e card ..

When consoling people living under the threat of catastrophic danger, it’s important to offer support and empathy. Here are some suggestions on how to console them:

  1. Express empathy: Acknowledge their feelings and show that you understand the difficult situation they are in.
  2. Offer practical help: If possible, assist with tangible support such as offering a place to stay, food, or helping with evacuation plans.
  3. Listen actively: Encourage them to express their concerns and fears, and actively listen without judgment.
  4. Share positive messages: Provide words of hope and encouragement, reminding them of their strength and resilience.
  5. Stay connected: Offer to keep in regular contact to provide ongoing support and reassurance.

Remember to tailor your approach to the individual’s specific needs and be sensitive to their emotional state. It’s also important to encourage them to seek professional help if they are struggling to cope.

If you’d like to send an e-card with a positive message to friends in the Near East, consider using a platform like Hallmark or Blue Mountain for a thoughtful and personalized touch.

Japanese History as Seamen

The Japanese have a tradition of seamanship and vessels. They are not to be mistaken for the Chinese and their junks. Both have a long trading history with the middle east and the sill road when it was mostly navigated by following the long coastline. Their craft resembles the Arabic sloops of that time.

Ball field parking lot paving

The city crews have blocked off the parking lot next to the RCMP station and the Ball fields. The parking lot is being paved over not with new asphalt but recycled asphalt from a highway repair area. The material has gone through a grinder and is laid out without new oil and rolled  untill it has a flat and usable appearance. The parking lot at the local kin park was done in this way a few years ago and has proven durable for the speeds and loads it was subjected to by the picnicking public.

Thats one for the Canadian Eco footprint.
