'B.C. earthquake wakes up Vancouver, Victoria-area residents Quake, 4.3-4.8 in magnitude, centred 20 km north of Victoria at 11:39 p.m PT Tuesday but no damage reported'

'B.C.'s South Coast was hit by an earthquake that shook many people from their sleep just before midnight, in what one seismologist called the largest quake in the region in years.'

'Some people near the epicentre northeast of Victoria reported their homes shifted, and others were knocked off their feet. "The house moved seriously to the right, came back, it was loud. The aquarium had a mini-tsunami and overflowed. We were in the kitchen and got tossed into the counter," wrote one commenter on the CBC website.'

I had just arrived home from a day's work when at between 23:30 to 23:59, I heard a very large, big bang. But, I could see no interior damage to the condominium.

I however, did not think it was an earthquake or Christmas quake immediately because my good friend, Mr. Rogers friendly neighbour, retired famous East Maple Ridge natural bodybuilder the one and only Mr. Bobby Buff, may have dropped one of his dumbbells during his workout...

One gets used to such living in proximity to a living legend...

How To Win Friends And Influence People?








































This week in Toronto as taxi drivers protest Uber...

I am sympathetic to both taxi and Uber drivers attempting to make a living.

Please do not misunderstand.

However, the gentleman speaks like my friend, Indian co-worker and trainer 'Sandy'.

But the video is a comedy classic. As is the one from the Ukraine.

Here was have (satirically) a possible Biblical connection with the fine singer, Mr. Tom Jones.

Perhaps Tom Jones' chest hair made him 'like Samson' in regards to his Delilah?
