The Butterfly Effect...
In regards to the current heatwave we are experiencing in Vancouver, how is it that some scientists theorize that the flapping wings of a butterfly in Brazil can affect the cause and path of a tornado in Texas, whereas I can feel absolutely NO freaking effect from the fan across the room???
It is, however, probably knocking over buildings and causing havoc in Tokyo or something...

The Peters At Pender...
Last weekend, the extended Peters family met at Pender Island for a 4 day Canada Day celebration. Mom and dad, Ron's family, Becky's family, Glenn's family and ours (the Van B's and Josh couldn't make it and they were all greatly missed), stayed at the beautiful home of Dad's cousin, Diet (Deit? Dieter? Deet? Backwoods Off?) Kroeker, overlooking the ocean. The massive house had 8 rooms, a huge kitchen, large living room, loft, rec room and back deck.
We spent the days eating, laughing, playing games, watching whales (a pod of about a dozen killer whales swam past our backyard), looking for crabs, throwing rocks, playing disc golf, jump-starting my van, going for walks, looking at creation, and basically lazing around. Twas good.
Next time I'll bring my booster cables. And blackout curtains for the windows so Luke won't wake up at 5 each morning. And some coyotes to cull the dozens and dozens of deer we saw. And a whaling ship with some empty tuna cans. And a band-aid for my 'frisbee blister.' And the rest of the terrific Peters family....
