BC Premier has some sort of growth in his throat, seems the initial concern was benign but doctors found another concern, apparently treatable, not stepping down as premier, but Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth has been appointed deputy premier as a precaution.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Horgan has already beaten bladder cancer. His brother died of cancer fairly recently, now this.
He sounded very hopeful that everything will be fine after finishing radiation near Christmas. Having been through the biopsy and removal stage of cancer (though I escaped having to have further treatment), I know that what the oncologists tell you is almost always accurate. Just have to wish him all the best, no matter what your politics are. :fingerscrossed: |

A solar storm, and wood used in an ancient viking settlement, scientists have been able to presicely date when those trees were felled, the year 1021.
"1021 date represents a precise calculation of when the trees used to build the settlement were felled. There's no way to know how long the Vikings were in Newfoundland, either before or after that date, but it is widely believed that the settlement existed for a relatively short time." https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/ancient-...land-1.5633124 Interesting things science can figure out. |

They found some tree rings exhibited a pattern consistent with exposure to a solar storm that swept over Earth in AD 993. "There was one year of solar activity that affected the growth of trees throughout the world," AD 1021 date represents a precise calculation of when the trees used to build the settlement were felled.

I get both sides of this, now in BC Housing a raise in the allowance for housing doesn't benefit us, but for those in private market rentals still it would, but then raising the support allowance provides more assistance to more people.

Speaking of cats how come if they are supposed to be so clever that they cant figure out the time change? That allegedly extra hour in bed doesn't work with cats.

We should have people to look up to; role models whose beliefs and vision have impacted society.

hmmmmmmmmmm .......... not nice. But they do like small dogs and cats. YOU have to make yourself look very big and threatening, and make lots of noise!!! It seems that coyotes are getting too accustomed with humans in many places, and very cheeky with it. Yoo many people feeding them, I suppose :( :thumbs_down: |

She is always on the leash, we don't let run off leash, too small and too easy prety for say a coyote, but she is even small enough for a bald eagle to take, so yeah always on leash. It seemed to be thinking about trying something but luckily didn't, I picked up Charlee and started back to the car. I was banned from the Kelowa reddit last year during the BC election, NDP isn't exactly a well loved party in the interior. |
