Hike

Spent the weekend in Canmore, done some fishing but the rivers are really swollen from all the rain they've had. We done a hike up to Grassy Lakes, wow what beauty. There is a easy trail and a hard trail. The hard trail is the way to go it is a fascinating hike a picturesque view of Canmore, a turquoise lake and canal, a hundred foot plus drop waterfall. The Grassy Lakes themselves are stunning, only approximately about forty meters across. The algae growing in the water is a grass color, then when the sun shines it's rays in the water the algae almost turns to a fluorescent green. Small trout can be seen right to the bottom of the fifteen feet of crystal clear water. This is a must hike, but take the hard trail both ways.

Life Again

It seems again we ask ourselves what we are doing here, why we are here, and what are we going to do about it. Some people say nothing! They are going to cruse through life with no responsibility towards absolutely nothing, be irresponsible and just have fun. Is that what it's all about. Possibly but not likely. It's more about learning. We have good times and times not so good. Again we humans don't learn unless things are learned the hard way, seems it is the only way we remember and appreciate anything.

Change

We the people do not know the power we have to change the world. We the people can not rely on governments to totally look after us. Governments are really there to do what the people want, you know democracy! But it seems governments, which are a group of people who do start with the right attitude, you know the attitude that they are going to really make a difference and change things for the good, but the same old thing happens people are people and they seem to run into a brick wall if they do not conform to the way things are done you are booted out, so you conform. So what do we do to change the way governments are run. Well there seems to be more and more movements and people standing up and resisting, and pushing for change. When we look around the world and we see CEO's and banking institutions walking away with money from hard working people. There is a time to put a stop to what is happening and the time is now. Change is on the way. Let us be the change. Situ Hayes www.silentriverkungfu.com UBBT Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada

Reunion

At a one hundred year reunion of a school since it had been built. So there was a assortment of people of all ages. Was great to see people meeting again, that had not seen each other up to fifty years. Of course a person exercises their skills in communication since it was not my side of the school reunion. Fun was had by all. Situ Hayes www.silentriverkungfu.com UBBT Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada.
