Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Maybe I'm missing something here to be unclaimed would that not mean there is winner but has not come forward.

So actually the LottoMax jackpot has not been won, since no one had the winning combination of numbers.

I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

I'm confused, is the Canadian not the hero in that story?

Not the headline but when did West Kelowna start fighting fires in Kelowna?

http://www.castanet.net/edition/news-st ... htm#109814

"The West Kelowna fire department had 30 firefighters from five stations working on the fire. They were supported by five engines, one Ladder truck, one rescue unit, one Hazmat vehicle and a command unit. A Safety Officer and the Deputy Chief were also on location. RCMP responded to assist with traffic control and BC Ambulance sent two ambulances."
