Today is your day Boomer! As I sit here this morning enjoying my daily ritual of java.....I began to wonder which coffee is best? A little research showed it was difficult to determine and it varied from place to place and even country to country. So, I thought of those Boomers that like to have coffee regularly with their buddies. And they often choose fast-food restaurants because of lower prices and the associated snacks. So.....according to the website "Dished", here are the top six fast-food coffees in North America. Burger King is dead last, with Subway 5th, and AandW coming 4th with a hint of cocoa flavour. Tim Hortons in 3rd was described as "decent, inoffensive, and a bit nutty".....but here are the top two in much more detail. Yes, McDonald's McCafe is 2nd, partially because of low price, but also because it is "certainly more flavourful than Tim Hortons, with a robust body that lingered. It’s a pretty 'middle of the road' coffee that wouldn’t offend too many people." That means.....duh, da, dahhhhh....Starbucks is number one with this appraisal: "Starbucks tops the ranking primarily for offering lots of options (light, medium, or dark roast) and for having the most complex flavours – nuts, cocoa, toffee, and spices. It’s the most expensive coffee on the list, and there are times when it can veer towards “burnt tasting,” but if you’re in desperate need of caffeine, this is your best bet". So, there you go Boomers; enjoy your day, your favourite java with friends, and remember that all coffee tastes great when you are retired. 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....
