A much needed time out

     Today is the D-Day anniversary.  If my calculations are correct it has been 71 years since the Allied Forces landed in Normandy. Something to think about, isn't it? That's three and almost four generations removed from today. Do you think those coming behind you, Dear Reader, will continue to honour the sacrifices of the fallen? I do not know who said it but the quote goes something like this: If you can't remember the PAST you are bound to REPEAT it! Personally,  I think it should be If you don't  or If you will not. Place the onus squarely on the individual and leave no excuse...can't remember the past? It's your duty to remember the past. Maybe that's what pisses me off about the new generations. The need for the instant gratification without the respect for what allows this to occur.

     We took the mobile WAYWARD INN out to Elk Falls provincial Park. It's a great place. Quiet and yet you are only 5 minutes from River City. You would never know that you were so close to civilization. IT was quiet except for the dufus across the road who decided the world needed to harmonize with Elton John's GREATEST Hits at 08:30 hrs. Since we were leaving there was no need for yours truly to make a scene.

 

     My Cuz'n and her Hubby, from River City came out to see us. We spent the day yakking it up and went up to see the suspension bridge. I think my Better Half has already posted the pics on Facebook. The project was done by the local Rotary Club in conjunction with several First Nations bands. It started in 2009 and was finished this May. If you have a chance come out and take a look, ITs about a 1km walk through the woods. Its a nice path but if you bring your puppy keep it leashed.
