Its good that it is friday….

The Petro Canada at the junction of highway 5 , 97c and eight is showing a drop in price by a cent to $1.26 a liter.

Editors note:There is a summer driving season that puts pressure on fuel prices. Winter road conditions may put serious  downward pressure on demand and use of highways.

 A truck was parked at the Desert inn  in Merritt this AM and its side window was smashed out. The hotel owner reported that there had been a rock come down from off the bank  and go through the passengers widow. The truck minus its side widow is there as a testimony to its story. and we can confirm that in the past when freezing a thawing occurs on roads with high mountain or hilly dispositions rocks do fall ,and they have caused at least one fatality as a decapitation. Our advice is to be defensive especially when both lanes are full and there is little wiggle room. In some instances ducking beneath the dash ( passenger especially) may be the thing that will help. To do this effectively you need to can the sidehill for tracks and moving stones.
