OUR DEAR FRIEND HAS CANCER FCS

'Morning Bret and everyone!

Doug,
Is your government as crooked and lame as ours?

Not quite but they're working on it and they're hard workers

[Doug Lockhart]

Doug,
Is your government as crooked and lame as ours?

I'd have to agree with MoonRunner.......they are all pigs at the trough......

[timebuilder]

I'll bet one commonality between our governments is a lack of accountability for promises made to one generation, with no money set aside to ensure those promises can be kept.

For example, long ago, when I was a kid, the congress of that time spent the money in our Social Security Trust Fund, and replaced the money with IOU's. Literally.

Now, all those folks are dead and gone. Yet, people still expect that their promises will be kept.

That is not likely to happen, and people are just holding their ears yelling "I can't hear you, I can't hear you."

[Doug Lockhart]

I agree with you Art......we had a court case here in BC whereby it went all the way to the Supreme Court and the judge threw it out......."you cannot hold a politician to their promises when they get in power"....but, if I was to promise to a customer what I was to do....then fail.....I would be sued sure as there is snow on the mountain today....
Tough but cool, clean and quiet ride this morning.....'bout 10-12cm on top of the mountain and icy roads to/from....
Have a good day guys......my daughters are piling into Mike's truck and driving over the Roger's Pass and the Coquihalla starting sometime late this afternoon.....

It's easy to forget that you guys actually get Winter there.
I googled Revelstoke, and discovered you don't have sunup until almost 8:00 am, and have less than 8 hours of daylight.

Looks like a rather lonely drive. I'd have lots of survival goods on board, for sure.

[Doug Lockhart]

Yup.....first call of the day, you watch your step on the rooftops...you'll either get guillotined by a guy wire or take a header off the roof when you stumble/slip on ice near the roof's edge in the dark.
I was almost killed near Revelstoke on that drive back from Calgary when I went to SAIT 37 years ago.....there's a lake there and if you go off the highway you'll be in it in a second.....
It's a treacherous drive but the kids didn't want to fly.....so the ole man's on pins and needles......they should get the 9am ferry from Tsawwassen Ferry terminal....

[A/C guy's chick]

mourning Bret & all...hope all the trees get whacked down for you Bret. When we had our house built we had no trees around the house and every time the UPS driver say's jeeez how can you live without trees around for shade in this Texas heat. I say well I'm married to an A/C guy and our house is geo thermal and it's nice inside so I planted tree's 20 feet away for shade if needed. Glad I did for nothing like wind blowing limbs on the house. Y'all have a Great Day !

[supertek65]

Poor trees!!!

Good morning, Bret and everyone!
