Up in the mountains Coriolistic Anachronisms - A Vancouver Blog

Hi, I'm your friendly Coriolibot (as in "ro-bot").

It would seem Vince (shame on him) hasn't posted a fresh entry in a couple of days, so I am here to keep you entertained no matter what!

The post below is a random entry that we hope you haven't read before. Regular current entries follow. Enjoy, and come back soon for brand new posts!

Note: this random entry is served on a per-visit basis and will change if you reload the page. It will also not show up on regular RSS, Feedburner and Twitter feeds.

Hurricane Dean - It's that time once again

As every year, from June to the end of November - an eternity - the hurricane season unleashed its anger on the Caribbean. Hurricane Dean is approaching Jamaica and the close encounter will be very scary. Beyond, lay the Cayman Islands where I have many dear friends. At this time, Dean is moving NE at 16 kts with max. sustained wind speeds of 125 kts (231 km/h) and gusts of 155 kts (287 km/h), which makes it a strong category 4 hurricane.

My heart and hope go to all standing in the storm’s path.

Update: I’ve just learned that Sabine, adorable Mathieu and Ann are safely tucked in New Orleans. Thank you Danny. Marc is waiting it out in Fort Lauderdale. Good. PJ, where are your bones?

Up in the mountains

Yesterday Friday, Vancouverites were granted with yet another one of those perfect crystal clear days; bright sunshine, crisp cool air and blue skies forever. May all those who criticized the local winters be silenced once and for all.

So I hopped on a funky shuttle intending to verify the cheesy saying that you « see more » from Mount Seymour...

Well it was cold and windy up there, but what an astonishing sunset!
