There is a poster in the window of the Baillie house inviting participation in a moms and stroller walking exercise. Meeting at rotary park 1:00  March through June  for an hour of pushing strollers with others.

The ad is not gender neutral,  June 1st is also the start of bicycle month in BC’s lower mainland.

Health and the environment should be the concern for the best interest of people. Opinion: we applaud all efforts to these ends and especially when they are inclusive.

Opinion: 

The world has changed in the last few decades and the need to have secrets abated. Shared security and its value to the planet  with projects such as the international space station give pause to think. The whole concept of stolen ideas and patent fraud as it were; on the back burner.

The interdependence of the business world and a mature attitude of the good business sence of an interdependent outlook, means that thugs and mugs are not using angles to lever knowledge. Rather in our post war age people understand that their interest will be served better by a defined relationship ( our part in your discovery) as it comes to a market that consumers drive, the demise of the exclusive business relationship has a demonstrative effect as patent holders licence out and do not hold ransom new technologies but try to realize reasonable profit margins on huge volumes serving many human beings.

We find it sad to see that there is a remaining attitude with the RCMP in BC and wish that Spy Vrs Spy would stay a cartoon spoof.

It’s very pleasant outside now in the mid teens and overcast. The forecast for the next few days is  for the same and the long weekend is being called for as sunny. Summer is on its way out once again and people will be looking forward to the handle of another winter in their age. September and October can be glorious around here. With Irene dissipated on the east coast we can hope for a year of relief from catastrophic weather damage we hope .Remember the season for hurricanes goes well into November .
