Foggy Vancouver

Vancouver has been immersed in a blanket of fog for much of the past week. Here are two different perspectives. The first photo is mine, the second was sent to me:

A Rare Snowy Day in Vancouver

E-mail Sent to a Calgary Radio Station

Just read by Mike Blanchard on-air:

Hi Mike,

I'm listening to your show this afternoon from Vancouver. It might make your listeners pleased to know that since it has dropped just a few degrees below freezing and a few centimetres of snow has fallen that most Vancouverites are in a major state of stress! This weather has clearly interfered with their internal notion that they're really Southern Californians, just with a different passport!

Gustav Spares New Orleans

Thank goodness, Gustav sputtered out without doing much damage to New Orleans!


Everyone must be ecstatic, except for Michael Moore and the liberal "brown shirts".

God help all of those in the path of these 2 storms. Makes me appreciate the mild weather in my neck of the woods.

Yet Another Story About That "Horrible" Wal-Mart

I seem to have a talent for meeting an endless stream of Socialist Kool-Aid drinkers, who nowadays prefer to call themselves "progressives". Here are some "truths" amongst their high-priests:

• The government is good and the primary protector of you, dear naive citizen.
• Private enterprise is bad.
• The gold medalist for horrible private companies is Exxon.
  
• Wal-Mart earns the silver medal.

A fly-in-the-ointment of such beliefs is an interesting story that has come out of the September 2005 Katrina Hurricane disaster.
