Today I took a helicopter ride for the first time. Two choppers left Kamloops and headed north into the Jamieson Creek area - spending a half hour in the air surveying the impact of the pine beetle on trees in the North Thompson. The media tour included forestry personel, MLA Kevin Krueger and local and provincial media from the Lowermainland. I was surprised by two things.
1. Kevin Krueger knows quite a lot about the pine beetle and forestry impact issues. He's done his homework.
2. Media from the Coast really don't know squat about the pine beetle issue.
It was the Interior media who understand the scope of the issues much more.

Not at all. It was a the smoothest ride I've ever experienced in the air. I'd choose it anyday over an airplane, hot air balloon or an airship. Especially over an airship.
Lifting off the ground was barely noticable.
Nice to have you back in town.
I enjoy reading your latest postings.
