Rained like a mofo here earlier this week. Over 400 mm in 2 days. My babbling brook in my backyard has become a raging torrent.

I have my 2 summer cars stored at the out-laws place for the winter and they live in the flood plain.

As the Somass River rises, so does my anxiety.

To solve their money woes, the newspaper’s expert financial planner, Warren MacKenzie of HighView Financial Group, offers some rather unorthodox advice: namely, Eric working a second day at the clinic, which would boost household income to $500,000 a year and solve all the family’s problems.

Heart wrenching story. I only wish I was in a financial position to help them out.

If that's a BC figure, count on the fact that a disproportionate share was in Port Alberni.

Big drinkers in this town.

Just for some perspective, my daughter will hopefully be getting her 'N' this summer. She will be placing it on a 1995 Volvo 850 (did I mention it's a turbo?)

Did you see the story about all the Chinese students over here (from communist party big wigs) and what they drive?

For Fri-Sat nights it's' Aventadors and whatnot, for driving to school it's "only" plain Jane Audis and Beamers....


Tough life for the privileged over there I guess.
