| Vancouver pre-storm: August 28, 2015 |
 |
| Second version with edited colours which is closer to what I actually viewed. |
There was no electric power for hours today, August 29th, and apparently 200, 000 people in Metro Vancouver and 440, 000 in British Columbia were without power during the storm.
It continues, but more quietly at present.
Sometimes I think people are burning bridges, when they should be learning more about construction...
Matthew 7
English Standard Version (ESV)
7 “Judge not, that you be not judged.
2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.
3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye?
5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
6 “Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.
Time to go out now as the storm is calmed somewhat...

ReplyDelete"Why don't you people leave me alone?" the deli owner said. "I work like a dog. Everyone in my family helps out, the place is only closed three days a year. And you want to know how I made $80,000?"

The corporate fitness room for security reasons has no open windows (fresh air being essential for a workout area IMHO), and due to corporate 'financial considerations' limited AC. The main user of the fitness room, a bodybuilder that spends about 16 hours a day on site, basically destroyed the previous fitness room floor by tossing his weights on that floor. This is at ground floor and I once received a complaint from a frightened young woman on the second floor as she feared a tremor, break in or such.
ReplyDeleteThe floor became damaged leading to a rumoured, according to one contracted worker, $15, 000+ tag for the new floor with a very strong smelling rubber covering. Employees complained about the strong odour while the bodybuilder unrepentant and unpunished, continues to toss his weights, which I can hear down in the parking area four floors below.
Months later the rubber smell is finally dissipating and can be replaced with the default, BO, mixed with leather and industrial cleaner smell. I preferred the rubber smell, if I had to choose.
I would never workout in that fitness room, due to nasal considerations and have my fitness equipment at home. However, my good friends Bobby Buff and Cousin Buff did slam my weights down one visit causing a light the floor below to become disconnected from its fixture...
Thanks to my European friend with some IT experience for verifying to me by clicking on one of my Blogger blogs that Stat Counter and Site Meter are not catching her pageviews from this Facebook blog to my Blogger blogs, or Blogger pageviews apart from this Facebook site.
ReplyDeleteI reason this is the case for many views from Europe and the US.
As I have noted, according to Blogger official stats with no geographical locations, Stat Counter, Site Meter and HiStats perhaps record 10% of my Blogger views.
My own Canadian pageviews appear to be recorded but there seems to be virtually assured anonymity for stalkers...wink emoticon
