Before I Was So Rudely Interrupted

The Election Fever in the Comox Valley:

We're forgotten until there is an election.  Candidates from all parties show up making us feel important. The landscape is peppered with 'vote for me' signs.  The same old same old.


Here it is with just a couple of days left, and I don't have a clue who to vote for.  I don't know these candidates.  All I know is that they want my vote.


I know every vote counts, but feel like my vote doesn't really matter.  Federal politics is a huge machine - I'm insignificant.  We're a bunch of local yokels who cast our vote based on very little information 'fed' to us by the candidates.


What's the alternative - not vote?

Wow - Now That's a Stretch

Can you spot the hidden items - all those pictures to date.  What does it spell out?

This project is starting to resemble something my ex would put together.  If he made a mistake at the beginning, he wouldn't go back and fix it, he'd try to cover it up in the next step and so on.  The results were always a piece of crap - worthless.  

KIP is one of those projects. 

Talk about a comedy of errors.  How many worthless documents do they have so far?   I'd say KIP must have a nice stack of documents that are open to court challenges.  

I was a KIP supporter at one time.  Then I realized the core group of supporters want this project no matter what.  Over the years they've bullied, bullshitted - you name it.  We all know the good work the Residents Association provided the community until it self imploded. Some seem to be fighting for their very lives, which is very odd unless they have investments to protect.  

It really makes you wonder what we haven't found out yet.

Another Birdseye

I Didn't Know That.

I was under the impression Vancouver Island Health Authority mandated all water purveyors to meet 4-3-2-1-0 standards by 2015.

Not so, from what I have read.  Apparently, the deadline for meeting those standards apply only to purveyors who want to add new subdivisions to their system.

These costly systems are not required unless new subdivisions are added.

I was wondering how many small communities were able to handle these costly upgrades.  Easy, they aren't trying to become a city in the country.  They're living within their means.

Champagne taste - beer budget.

Imagine what it's going to be like when these trucks (42 tonne B-trains) start hauling the coal to Port Alberni, 3 to 4 per hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Astro - The Whippet on the Move

This little guy is so fast.  I slowed down the video in one section in order to see his agility in action.  Lots of laughs when this fellow shows up.  This is not a fragile dog!

My Addiction

I'm addicted to this dog!  This wonderful little girl is Emma.  I can't get enough pictures of her.  She has the most amazing eyes and face.
