The #drought being experienced on #VancouverIsland is so outside the norm that extraordinary measures are being applied. In one case, they know that low water flows and very high temperatures cause water #oxygen levels to crash (hypoxia), so they are bubbling air into some of these river pools so the #salmon do not suffocate. Absolutely crazy #ClimateChange adaptation methods.

Ähm... WTF!?
"B.C. hospital sees fast spread of COVID-19, but no outbreak declared due to 'negative connotations'
Health authority instead using 'enhanced measures' for infection control such as masking and extra cleaning"

Millstone River Falls along the Millstone River at Bowen Park in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada. One of those surprises in what is a fairly urban park!

This is Niagara Falls at Goldstream Provincial Park (Vancouver Island) in British Columbia, Canada. It looks a bit different than the more famous namesake in Ontario but at 47.5 meters (156 ft) it is nearly as high. More photos in my blog post here:

Looks like our local #satire publication is on Mastodon now!
Definitely worth a follow if you’re in #BritishColumbia, #VancouverIsland, #Nanaimo, or #VictoriaBC.
As good as The Beaverton and The Onion (and sometimes better). https://mastodon.social/@nanaimobeacon/110895702850845390

Excluding people with disabilities because of legislation that, uh, doesn’t exist. Not cool, Hullo.

I haven't flown in 9 years. I had to study what I can and cannot do.take. Masters in flight planning at this point, shooting for the PhD. I ordered a carry on from Amazon, and they sent the wrong item-a body pillow, they managed to rush the correct item to me which I received this morning. Impressed with the product, but cat was much less impressed, lol. #VancouverIsland here I come.
Loving the clouds over Vancouver Island - and the blue sky everywhere else.
