bishopshodan Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Damn Vancouver...too much poop in the water...all the DT beaches are closed to swimming. Mcdonald beach in Richmond...no swimming due to recently sunken Tug. Feel bad for my dog, she loves to play in the water. The sky looks like doomsday and I think the smoke is giving me a head ache. Stupid fires, this is going to be every year now isn't it? I like the heat just fine, not a problem, but I would like to be able to go for a run or a swim without facing health issues.

It's really ugly smoke-wise in Alberta too. My wife runs a dayhome and can't even put the kids outside due to the air quality. Even worse is that it's ruining August. My forecast says mid 20s and no rain for the next week but with all the smoke I can't even enjoy it. We've lost significant portions of our precious summer here the past few years. The winter is long and cold here and we need clear skies and sun in the summer to maintain our sanity. Take your smoke back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey! if it was my smoke, Alberta would be sold out of potato chips and everyone would be in a good mood. Wait....if the smoke is ours...then the trees are ours... Is the coast ours?... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck on the work front, Violator. I hope you find something local. Edited August 18, 2018 by PhillipBlunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
