OT: Vancouver People

Speaking of flying, I was in jstew's summer hideaway of Kelowna this past weekend and my goodness, the Kelowna airport is in dire need of expansion. After we cleared security, they had us packed in like sardines. The weekend was enjoyable even though the weather was still cool and cloudy.

/She'll still be competing for the Vikes cheer team, this was her other team.

Does Rutland have the most appropriate city name or what?

I don’t really understand how you can justify that kind of expenditure on a museum in a day and age where museums are having to give a bunch of shit back to countries/peoples they’ve taken it from.

That’s also more combined than it cost to renovate and expand the ROM and AGO a decade ago in Toronto and they both used “starchitects” in their designs (neither turned out great). Inflation and everything but it does seem like a vanity project in a province with way more pressing needs for a billion dollars.

I was shocked at how passionate Horgan was talking about it and having to keep the history of BC relevant. It's a ridiculous notion to spend the money on that during these times.. maybe the mega rich can pay for it

If it wasn't Falcon flapping his gums I'd be in more agreement.

they have been trying to get the super rich to fund a replacement Vancouver Art Gallery for about a decade now.
so far two families have stepped up, and about 10% of the goal has been reached.
and in the meantime one of the guys who had pledged built his own damned museum up in Whistler.

This new "Pitt Meadows-Fort Langley" federal riding looks like something out of North Carolina.

The power is out in my office in Nanaimo.

Fortunately I'm nowhere near it.

We actually have a light breeze and some sun and power.

So glad I've ditched the commute.

I think Elon’s looking for you Puck.

Too many witnesses.
