Haha, yes it was supposed to be. As a matter of fact, I believe the
ocean has risen up here a *GOOD* centimeter in the last millenium or so.
I mean, at *that* rate... we're doomed.

Mannnn if anything, he's a GREAT entertainer. His "doc" was a full on comedy.

Yes, I laughed a lot at that one.

We have our own little comedian up here, David Suzuki, who made a
lifetime of canuck-bucks with convincing a country how fucked our environment was... But please ignore his mansions and Asian groupies he bangs on a regular basis.

I'll bet he's banging those Asian groupies on his own personal LearJet,
too. The bastard. ;-) Glad to hear, though, that environmental
morons aren't restricted to just the USA.

Better pack your bags then!

Got the "GO" bag all ready!

We're still enjoying temps in the 24-28c range, sunny, warm...

Yeah, been near 90f here still, another few weeks till cooling some.

Hows everything else these days. Is Nixnet worth joining or is it dead?

It's certainly not busy, and mostly automated postings every day, but
some of those are worth glancing at. Give it a look! Things are going
well here all in all.

I only ask because you know... Nick... Nixnet... nobody saw this or
asked my permission? 8-)

Hahaha, nice. Maybe you can start NicksNet... :-)

He's finally stepped down from his taxpayer funded soap-box on CBC and is presumably enjoying his several mansions in the Kitslano area, flying in his private plane or flying first class. For someone who lectured about the
dangers of capitalism and carbon footprints he sure doesn't mind his own.

My favourite tale of him was his tour bus that kept the engine running while parked outside Dalhousie university. Inside he was lecturing about pollution.

Severn Cullis-Suzuki was as a 12yr old at the UN Conference on Environment and Development in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro. She spoke at that UN Meeting and the speech is still available on YouTube as "5 minutes which silenced the World" or something like that. There have been many girl speakers since.

10 years later during the preparation of the Rio+10 conference in Johannesburg I was invited by the Secretary General of the UN to participate in the preparation and then met Severn Cullis-Suzuki, then a 22yr old ... I was not impressed as she never went beyond the slogans. Lately some other girl displayed the same behaviour.

After googling I discovered her father was active in the Vancouver area but never pursued it. She faded away and he faded from my attention span.
