673;
Good evening my friend, I hope you and yours are well tonight.
We've heard via family in Salmon Arm that they didn't get much rain, but friends in Vernon got some, so perhaps you all got a wee bit at least?
As is my custom, whenever I'm well rested, have had enough coffee already and the stars are aligned, I listened to a CBC radio special on the fires today.
For those who don't know, our CBC - aka Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is nearly all government funded. That means that for nearly all their reports and articles, they'll have a hard left lean/slant/flavor.
Today was interesting however in that they got into the less than warm welcome our BC Premier David Eby got when he visited in some of the fire areas. In particular the CBC reporter actually reported the intense dissatisfaction of the Shuswap residents in how poor the communication and management of the fire fighting efforts for the Adams Lake fire have been.
It goes without saying I was a tad shocked to hear that on the CBC, you know?
The news here on Global Vancouver also covered the powers that be not letting a food truck in to feed people who have stayed back to protect their property.
That's twice in one day I'm shocked 673.
I'm not sure if I should rush out and buy a lotto ticket, spend the evening reading the Good Book or reloading, but it's giving me pause to say the least.
Here's hoping that you and I and those we know and love make it through this year's fire season in one piece.
All the best to you all my friend.
Dwayne
