Seems to be this Tutima Flieger spends most time on my wrist of any watch lately:



Hope you are all having a good week. And muckymark I'm a bit concerned about you, with the forest fires so close to your hometown. Hope all is well!

Back home.



carl I’m a little concerned about the latest fire south of Oliver. It’s a ways from my Mom’s house and appears to moving further away. Having said that she is somewhat prepared if evacuation is required. Fingers crossed that will not be required.

On another note, not owning a car and driving is a wise choice. My trips through the lower mainland on Thursday and yesterday were patience testing ordeals. It took almost as long to get from Abby to Horseshoe Bay as it was from Oliver to Abby. At least I gave myself some extra time to make the ferry back… I even had time to test new shoes at Ambleside.

muckymark here's hoping the fire misses your Mother's place  . I do not miss having a car one bit, not even for a moment. While I realize that a car is definitely a necessity for lots of folks, I am fortunate to live in an area of Vancouver that has excellent transit, even to Port Coquitlam where my brother lives. And it makes me do a lot of walking, which is really good and about the only serious exercise I get these days.
