Spent the day with friends out in Harrison Hot Springs, which is NW of Vancouver. The weather was full on summer. 30C! And its almost October. We strolled around the beach where a sandcastle building contest was being held. For lunch, we went to the Black Forest Restaurant and had schnitzel. Quite good, but very expensive: wine $7 a glass, schnitzel $15!
Now, I am home and watching the 10pm news.. and the top story is Hurricane Juan slamming into my old home of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The power is out, and there isn't a lot of live coverage, though CBC Radio Halifax is streaming. If you have ExpressVu, flip to channel 958 -- which is also CBC Radio 1 Halifax. Currently at 11:13pm Pacific (3:13am Atlantic), CBC radio is live with special coverage. Over in TV land, the pictures from a few hours ago look nasty. I hope all is well.
It's funny that I know many of the people that are being interviewed: Margaret Murphy from the power company, John O'Brien from the city.
UPDATE: If you are reading this around Sept 29th, you can see the hurricane as it heads towards PEI. This link is to a live video feed from the Confederation Bridge, which links New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island.
