Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Speaking of sitting on a pile of gold…wouldn’t you love it, if just ONCE in your life you were weeding the garden and find a fabulous fortune as your reward?

Any of you who know about flying, what's with these planes diverting from their route this evening?

Here's another one. He's at about 37,000 ft. Any planes below him are either at the airport or there's the bird dog at 2400 ft.
Strange things going on tonight.

Funny you mentioned this^^^^

Tonite I saw a plane, flying low over the city edge, perhaps on it’s way to Kelowna? I see those flights all the time, but at higher altitude

Something to do with the terrific windstorm we had here tonight?

Most likely due to the fire on the Westside near Okanagan Lake resort.

Don't think so.
Those planes were high elevation, 28,000 ft and higher.
The fire in question was small and the smoke was low.

One plane even diverted around Merritt.

I like mysteries….solved

What was going on? Even late into evening I could hear choppers bashing the air until almost dark.
We had high winds all day long followed by a spattering of rain, then suddenly, completely calm.
