2️⃣ QUALICUM POSTMASTER (Mystery)
Jenkins tries to find out the identity of a body found at low tide and who parks all day in the 90 minute zone; Mrs. McLean is caught reusing stamps. Guest stars Robert Clothier, Cynthia Dale. (60 min.)

Orr wasn't dealing drugs. But politicians and civilians do help the street community on Xmas by distributing socks, coffee etc.
And organizers in the group might also be distributing pipes and other safe-consumption paraphernalia. Might this be the source of the rumour?

Nothing gets past Mr. Qualicum Postmaster.

UV glass offers excellent protection against light damage but not total protection.

I was in Hong Kong in May of '89. I left thinking that positive change was imminent. I was wrong.

UV glass for sure. A piece that size is only a couple hundred bucks, double that for anti-glare coating. At least I hope so.

It was amazing. So different from the highway frenzy. Slow...but memorable.

It's charming to imagine someone writing the board of trade requesting particulars: My dear sirs, forward to me forthwith particulars regarding your fine town, to which I will be locomoting next week.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

They talk about outsiders (immigrants, artists, LGBT) being the moss that breaks down the rock of an abandoned neighbourhood turning it into a cultural node. They're trying to do it here instantly and artificially with the new AGGV site in Rock Bay but it will be only for the rich.

I was in Treptower Park to meet up with a Victoria artist I knew and we were walking down the street and coincidently coming the other way was Renee Van Halm and a couple of her friends so we stopped for a beer. This was a couple decades ago.

Mind you, the reason Berlin has acres of cheap industrial space is not intended as a recommended path to affordability.

I mentioned previously about how in the 1960s the precursor to the CRD wrote a report recommending that the entire Fernwood/Gladstone district be demolished as it was "urban blight". They thought it was a problem to be solved with architecture rather than by natural gentrification.

I'll be offline for a few days as I'll be on a roadtrip with the Trivago guy.

Berlin has a surplus of cheap industrial space. I knew a few Victoria and Vancouver artists living there, not just because it was a cultural hub but you could easily afford a studio. Victoria has very little--limited to a diminishing number of units in Rock Bay.

What high blood pressure does to your body Hypertension can affect your mind, heart, eyes and more, often without causing any obvious symptoms at all.

In 2011 I was young, fit, thin; perfect health. One morning I woke up with countless floaters in my field of vision. I was diagnosed with hypertension. It's perfectly in control today.

I don't know if Gumby portrayed a pilot of the Entente or the Great Powers but I suppose it's immaterial.

I got a job on a Lifetime Network TV movie where there was a frat party scene in which a woman was to slide down a table. Me and the asst. art director went to every drug store asking for the largest tub of KY Jelly without luck. They ended up using bubble bath sucessfully.

My wife's grandfather, who built Merlin engines during the war, told me he'd never buy a Japanese car.

I wore a button-down shirt and tie to work, I put a fleece half zip over it because it wouldn't fit into my bike bag and on the way home stopped off at the supermarket and realized oh no I have khakis, tie, and fleece top, they'll think I work here because that's the produce manager uniform.

My Vancouver friend was excited a school was planned for Olympic Village that her little boy could attend. The boy will be an adult when the school opens but I guess it's the thought that counts. #yvr

Business Examiner still does it but yes, Monday Magazine is sadly missed.

I always know when I structure a joke incorrectly because I'll get one like instead of three.

BUY CANADIAN GOODS AND KEEP CANADA BUSY

30 years ago I visited New York City and was wore a denim jacket and jeans (aka the Canadian Tuxedo). I was mortified to realize I was literally the only one in Manhattan wearing what I had assumed was normal clothing.

A toothbrush is a manual device because you operate it with your hand. A bicycle is a footual device.

I'm certain Americans find value in our archives, just as Canadians find value in American archives ie: early colour images of Victoria BC hosted by Indiana University.

We made the mistake of buying an air purifier off Amazon only to discover it had been previously unpackaged. Which in itself isn't a red flag but what were the previous users trying to purify?

I bet THEY had a buffet

Sad to report that Palmerston, resident Chief Mouser of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) at Whitehall died in retirement in Bermuda last week age 11-12.
