Doesn't happen often that we get a day where the solar panels report zero interruptions.
All summer long we've either had wildfire smoke, or a cloud passes overhead which causes brief spikes in the power produced by the panels. #SolarPower #Okanagan #BC

THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
In 1826, and later in 1831, the historic HBC Brigdes made their way north from Fort Okaogan, following their old trail to Kamloops and on to #FortStJames. #TheHBCBrigades #Okanagan #Journeys #WAHistory #BCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/brigade-eleven/ -
Two days ago we had very strong wind which cleared the valley of all the smoke.
Yesterday, the smoke came back with a vengeance. Summers in the Okanagan. :(
Wish companies and governments took climate change seriously. #Okanagan #Kelowna #ForestFires

Power generation from my solar roof panels today. Nice sunny day. Generated 52.84 kWh of electricity between 5:25 and 20:40. My average use is between 10 and 20 kWh per day. So I'm generating more electricity than I use.
BC Hydro charges $0.1172 / kWh at tier 1, and $0.1408 at tier 2. I don't know at what rate BC Hydro buys back the excess electricity my roof panels are producing. Let's say it is tier 1: 52.84 kWh * $0.1172 / kWh = $6.19 per day. That's $185 for the month of June?
I haven't received a bill yet since this was installed a few weeks ago, so I really don't know how this works. Purely guessing at this point. #SolarPower #Okanagan #Kelowna

Near my home is a beach that is off-limit to anyone who isn't of "First Nations" ancestry. The sign out front says "Westbank First Nation Private Beach".
What would people say if we had a beach that said "White People Private Beach", or "First Nations Not Permitted"?
Recall that in BC, beach property belongs to the Crown. The rules are:
1) Land Boundary: Private property stops at the natural boundary, the average high-water mark.
2) Foreshore: The sandy, rocky, or wet area between high- and low-water marks is called foreshore. In BC, foreshore is owned by the Crown.
3) The public has a bare license to walk, pass, and recreate on the foreshore. You cannot legally put up fences to block people from walking along the beach. #BC #Okanagan #Kelowna

...Grasslands, deserts, forests, mountains, rivers, and lakes all each have a name — just like any person. And skawilx shares that it’s important for non-sqilx’w folks to learn about language, place names, and personal accountability in the natural world order — for this will begin to shift how people see themselves as part of place...

#FossilAdventCalendar Day 13
#TerrestrialTuesday#BritishColumbia is full of #lagerstätten (sites of exceptional #fossil #preservation), including the sites of the #Eocene #Okanagan. Here, a series of #ancient #lakes preserve #fossils of #leaves, #insects, and the oldest #salmon. Rarest of all are #arachnids: this fossil of the #spider Palaeoperenethis thaleri in the #RoyalOntarioMuseum is the only one of its kind, but it's #preserved well enough to identify it as a relative of fishing #spiders
