Today is your day Boomer! Of course I would like to fly somewhere warm this winter! It is mid-January, slushy, cold, and depressing. But I also realize the idiots are out there in full force. People like the #1 mens tennis player in the world trying to get into Australia to play in the Australian Open without being vaccinated....I won't even mention his name, I am so angry. Thankfully he was deported. The group of Sunwing influencers from Quebec who partied on a flight all the way to Mexico with total disregard for other masked people on the trip. Thankfully, they were denied flights back home by two separate airlines. Then, I hear that 1700 people refused to wear masks on Canadian airline flights last year and only about half got fined. The biggest ticket was about 2000$, but most were much less and I understand the maximum penalty is 5000$! I say, DO IT.....give them the max right away and ban them from flights in-and-out of Canada for at least 3 years! These ignorant people need a big slap in the face and the way to do it is to hit their pocketbook! No one likes BIG fines, not even rich people. Boomers, I want to see that volcano in the picture; I want to go to the big island of Hawaii next winter....but right now, no way. I am wary of other people....I am frustrated with the mass-spreader Omicron, and I just won't fly right now. Maybe you are braver than me. Good luck and have a drink for me at that all-inclusive in Mexico. Cheers!
Today is your day Boomer! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
