Trump's State of Alaska has plenty of Glacier fresh water; dedicated piping too, to the docks, to ship their drinkable water to

the lower 'forty eight', specifically, to assist California's forest fire hot spots, and to .... fill their swimming pools.

 

 

 

STEALTH MODE - no speed is displayed, but data is collected

Typical of other Metro Vancouver  municipalities, District of North Vancouver uses electronic traffic warning signage, at the curb, to alert motorists of their current speed.

There's one been sitting on Queens, at Delbrook Recreation Centre, for two weeks.

Its a total waste of time of public resources.  Why not move it to another site, or park it on District Hall's property, which is just six blocks to the East. 

Within the typical family car, the youngsters dare the parent to go higher, therefore faster.

While the parent is busy verifying that the car's speedometer is correct, at ten kilometres faster.

 

 

The machines real capabilities?

Make your own cinnamon stick stars now, and how, and the sticks..... are .... @ Famous Foods

Every year our school has a fundraiser; don't we all.

Translink stations ignores basic human needs, so I use Vancouver City Hall's squeaky clean WC, c/w heated floor

Broadway and Cambie is so very busy, and even though I'm on the way to Vancouver General Hospital for a study on asbestosis, I always use the City Hall's public washroom.  One can't be too careful at VGH, let alone the nearby bustling stores.  Besides, I feel guilty not purchasing anything on Broadway.

I'm just waiting for Mayor Sim to greet me with  "Do you have any business here Sir?

My prepared Reply:   "None of your business!"

Capilano Mall's 'find the stores within Map', 1/2 should be upside down ..

 ... because not all of these signs should be top up.

=============

This map is right if entering from the south (Walmart)

                                                                  _______________

------------

 this one is right (if the map is upside down) and

if entering from Marine Drive, looking to the South

 

I understand why malls, typically, have back to back signage, and the use of cardinal direction of NORTH at the top, but, invariably the stores, and their signs aren't facing North at all.

Those same mall maps includes the FIRE EXIT signs in accordance with municipal/provincial laws, but, has the City's Fire Department verified that the signs on the mall's map is correctly placed?

 

Capilano Mall, sign samples, of the cardinal sin

The way it is now, who knows where the Fire Exits are?

Budgeted $125 for 2004 Backyard Rockery Project with a 'slightly' used 'DB Type HAND Winch W/Cable'!

and it came with a best before date

 These jumble of rocks were free (oops Delivery Fee!)

A truck tie down strap worked perfectly on the odd shaped rocks and connected to the winch cable

 

And a way off in the distance was that old hand powered winch sitting on top of a heavy duty 'box' made of 2' X 8" lumber for the framing, added 30" X 30" plywood for the top and bottom, to prevent wracking.  

The interior of the box, was loaded with individual ROCKS so that their combined weight could pull the larger rock.

And with all the (ducks) boulders in a row it was simple to remove the rocks in the box and move to another angle to pull in another line of boulders.

All done by hand.   No electric winches needed.

Of course now, you'll use MY WAY, your way, but with that electric winch.

District of North Vancouver's Deep Cove area, without a dedicated sewerage piping map?

The District of North Vancouver has the best, most detailed data, in Metro Vancouver, the Province.  Way superior to the City of Vancouver's ...... just  DON'T OPEN (VANCOUVER'S)  fire hydrant file, nor their pedestrian activated crosswalk lights.  You won't be able to see where you're walking in Google Earth, nor see where your dog went to.

Its all about maintenance of Districts assets.

As to the current topic:  Flood prevention assets:
