Simon Fraser University has a presence here today at the local community college. Their theme is Engaging the world and are specifically presenting to Academic criminology prospects for degrees.

SFU has a distinction of having won the world pipe band contests in Scotland. The school is named after the Explorer Simon Fraser who was the first to make it to the Pacific ocean by Land. He also relied on the most major river in British Columbia that bears his name today. The Fraser River empties into the Pacific ocean at Vancouver

Fog

The whole valley is filled with for this morning . Vehicles were driving with headlights on in the early morning hours.

Fog is a collection of liquid water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air at or near the Earth’s surface.^[1] While fog is a type of stratus cloud, the term “fog” is typically distinguished from the more generic term “cloud” in that fog is low-lying, and the moisture in the fog is often generated locally (such as from a nearby body of water, like a lake or the ocean, or from nearby moist ground or marshes).^[2] Fog is distinguished from mist only by its density, as expressed in the resulting decrease in visibility: Fog reduces visibility to less than 1 km (5/8 statute mile), whereas mist reduces visibility to no less than 1 km.^[3] For aviation purposes in the UK, a visibility of less than 5 km but greater than 999 m is considered to be mist if the relative humidity is 70% or greater – below 70% haze is reported.^[4]^{[citation needed]}.Wikipedia

Merritt remains foggy at mid morning and visibility is limited to the inner valley. Be SEEN

TGIF gardens of time

Level one hundred:

We started playing the Game Gardens of Time on Facebook more then 2 years ago. Having seen Treasure Island to its timely end and tried many others for a time, we concentrated on the game in part because of its designation of the 2011 online game of the year.

The game has you build a garden that is historical and supervised by A Gardens of Time Society. Starting with Ancient Egypt it allows for various themes ancient to current. You may play for points or enjoyment of the cultural and esthetic value or both.

Like the practice of some First Nations to leave out a bead from art work to communicate that nothing is perfect the gardens program has some out of place objects in the locating hunt themes that get you coin to buy garden structures.

The engagement of distant relatives and new unknown social contacts was broadening experience , The game is fun and socially,historically and geographically reenforcing.

We spend no money to level 100.
