October news
It looks like “Once Upon a Time” people returned to Storybrooke - Steveston Village to continue their stories. Here they are, major heroes, Elsa and Anna, during shooting break coincided by time with my stroll through the village:
Chum is going up in big amount and we had 8 hours of gillnetted fishing opening on Thursday. The Fraser was crowded with fishermen boats. Big commercial ships had to wag trying to avoid their nets. It was noisy on the river as captains signalling requiring fishermen to make way for their giants. You see like my friend Edward was successful in a hurry to dodge a giant and free the fairway:
Dalai Lama visited UBC same day. He had a talk with students and teachers about educating the heart. They were discussing Dalai Lama’s Heart-Mind Index approach to early education. Unfortunately I was busy in the office with urgent certification project that time and had no chance to meet this great person. My agnostic approach to religion is flexible and I feel myself a Buddhist often visiting their fantastic parks and temples.
Another giant beats its way up making couple of knots beeping 6 short signals every second minute:
The name of this vehicle carrier is Pyxis, a small and faint constellation in the southern sky:
It’s Panama registered and brings toyotas from Hiroshima to Vancouver often. The ship was so slow that I managed to click my camera pointed to it from several positions. This one is close to London farm on the Fraser:
Chrysanthemums in their kitchen-garden:
And dahlia:
Walking along the river I was thinking about social and emotional competences as Dalai Lama defines them in his index system. Gets along with others, compassionate and kind, solves problems peacefully, secure and calm, alert and engaged are five components of the index. Nothing is absolutely new in this index system for Canadian education. The system simply disciplines the approach to cultivate social skills in the childhood and to be happy in the adolescence. This is another reason for me to like Buddhism as a philosophy. Being happy you are building a trusting environment around yourself what makes you more competitive and successful in current life :) Good perspectives for reincarnation are cultivated too in parallel :)
The weather is changeable and next thirty minutes Fraser’s mouth looks like this:
I am close to my car parked near this pier. Another giant is sailing past:
I was not sure that Edward’s boat is out of the way of this Panamanian ship:
But it was and I read inscriptions on the stern soon:
There were a lot of fresh chum in fishermen pier in Steveston on Friday:
And not only chum:
There were some strange personages aboard several boats too. This is one of them:
But I communicated with human beings and bought one big fish and five pounds of shrimps here:
Finishing this post I have to say several words about shooting in Ottawa of course. I had a shock initially when I heard about this driving to the office in the early morning. But later, when the incident was described in more details, I got a thought that brave Sergeant-at-Arms could do what he done, kill the bastard not with the pistol, but with his huge ceremonial mace.
It seems like major events are presented and I can start watching something from American classic movies this rainy Saturday night.
