Today is your day Boomer! Honestly, from my point of view, it has been a great weather summer. Lots of clear, sunny days with warm temperatures....great for Boomer biking, hiking, winetasting, tennis, boating, and golf. But now the fires have set-in and Vancouver and the Lower Mainland in BC have the worst air quality in the world! Yup....the world, and the Okanagan isn't much better(see picture of the Kelowna bridge). It means we can still do our recreational activities, but those with medical conditions need to take warning. How about 9 instead of 18 holes at the golf course? How about indoor pickleball today instead of outdoor tennis? How about canning peaches inside instead of gardening outside? It is only temporary....this smoke, but it can get you! By the way, it is also affecting driving to Vancouver. Smoke from three large fires near Hope, and the associated closures and delays, meant some trips took 11 hours yesterday instead of the normal 5. Boomers, we have to adjust. The crisp, sunny days of autumn are just around the corner. Cheers!
