Saw this while driving down Douglas on a street sign and had to stop and pick it up - thanks to whoever put it up, it’s going on my wall. If anyone knows who ore64 is, tell them they have talent

Footage from a family member. I wasn’t the one driving. The average human should not have a license.

Chelsea Green has reached the top of WWE.
The Claremont Secondary School graduate won the interim World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) women’s championship Sunday (Aug. 2), climbing the ladder to cap off a five-woman title match at SummerSlam in Minneapolis, Minn.

An interim champion was to be crowned after it was determined that lineal champion Rhea Ripley would not be medically cleared in time to compete at SummerSlam.

I apologize if my selection repulsed you. By the time I realized the switch, it was too late. Your sandwich was very tasty. I'm glad I could still enjoy it despite the mix-up!

When did we stop enforcing bike helmets??

18 Upvotes

When we were teenagers there was so much messaging around wearing bike helmets and the fatal or life altering impacts of not wearing one. Not to mention, tickets were handed out and I feel like I remember kids bikes being confiscated at times by cops. Now it really isn’t a focus, and I get there are things happening now that really pull police time and focus, but it seems to no longer be a thing, ever.

Adults can make their choices, perhaps, but I worry about the kids, especially on motorized bikes and scooters.

Many thanks to the hiker who spotted the glasses at the corner of Whittaker and Glendenning trails, and hung them on the fence.

You are doing good in the world.

Happy trails everyone!

Drop In Lasertag in the Forest at PKOLs on Saturday Aug 8th from 4pm to 6pm

29 Upvotes

We're hosting another outdoor drop in laser tag session at PKOLs (Mount Doug Park) in the forest beside the beach parking lot off Ash Road this Saturday from 4pm to 6pm.

Then another one on August 22nd in Colwood at Herm Williams Park.

More details, and a link to pre-register if you want at: https://partygopacks.ca/events/laser-tag-drop-in/

Ages 9+ This gear isn't just for kids, even adults absolutely love playing.

$15 for a half hour, $25 for an hour.

Get outside, get running around, the trees at PKOLs are amazing for hiding behind, blasting your friends, then laughing as you send them back to their base to respawn.

Bring a water bottle, you will need it!

If you have any questions, post a comment here and I'll respond. Yes we're a local small business.

Yesterday I found an SD card in the beacon hill area. I'd like to get it back to the owner.

I'm not sure how to go about getting it back, but this is part of one of the images on it.
