They refused to hire me, despite the fact that I had twenty years of experience in the field. That's the last time I apply for a job at the unemployment office.
What’s the shortest birthday? The twenty second.I've got a pen that can write underwater. It can write other words, too,
but underwater is one of my favorites.Why do you need a license for a dog and not for a cat? Because cats can’t drive!
I asked my wife what she wanted for her birthday. She told me that nothing would make her happier than a diamond necklace. So I bought her nothing.
MARK MY WORDS, THIS IS A GREAT DEAL ON HIGHLIGHTERS!

Travel advisory on CoqA travel advisory is in effect between
Coquihalla Lakes Rd & Coldwater Rd because of the July Mtn wildfire. Expect low visibility due to smoke. The road remains open to traffic, but there is no stopping on the highway. The next up-date will be today at 12 noon.
As of yesterday, the fire had grown to 6306 hectares. Over the weekend, crews patrolled throughout the night & the fire received some precipitation. Due to the weather conditions, there was a decrease in fire activity. An evacuation alert for the Coldwater valley issued on Friday was partially rescinded yesterday for about half of the 98 properties.
Additional COVID restrictions in IH's Central Okanagan
Today at 9am, additional restrictions come in to effect for Dist. of Peachland, City of West Kelowna, City of Kelowna, Dist. of Lake Country & the Regional District of Central Okanagan:
Outdoor personal gatherings are limit-ed to no more than 50 people, and indoor personal gatherings are limited to 5 guests or 1 other household. Indoor organized gatherings & outdoor organized gather-ings are limited to no more than 50 people with a COVID-19 safety plan in place
Masks remain mandatory for all peo-ple age 12 and older in indoor public ar-eas throughout the central Okanagan.
Non-essential travel to and from the region should be avoided.
These restrictions remain in place un-til further notice. These are in addition to restrictions first announced on Friday, to continue managing the central Okanagan COVID-19 outbreak declared on July 28.
Although most cases are among younger adults, IH is also now seeing COVID-19 exposures in health care facil-ities, businesses, restaurants and social settings. These additional measures will protect service industry staff, patrons and the broader community.
More than 95% of recent COVID-19 cases in the central Okanagan are among people who are not fully-immunized. Immunization is the most effective pre-vention against COVID-19.

AriesMarch 21 - April 19
Events focus on righting wrongs and readdressing injustices. Even if you don't feel as if you have much power to change things, as long as you genuinely and intelligently try your best.
LeoJuly 23 - Aug 22
Although you've been made very aware of something that 'could go wrong', your concerns have grown out of proportion. Just a slight move will take you into safe territory today.
SagittariusNov 22 - Dec 21
Take some time, in the aftermath of the New Moon, and slip into a more relaxed state today. When you stand back and look at your current problem, you'll know what you (gently) need to do.
TaurusApril 20 - May 20
All kinds of undesirable be-haviours are perfectly legal - while some acts of generosity contravene certain rules. Pay more attention to moral princi-ples than legal ones today.
VirgoAug 23 - Sept 22
With Venus in your sign, you just need to believe. You'll soon see tangible evidence of the magic that surrounds you. When you wish upon a star... anything's possible.
CapricornDec 22 - Jan 19
'If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well'. ... but what if it's not? There's no need to expend your precious energy doing something that doesn't need to be done.
GeminiMay 21 - June 20
This week, look away from the gloom. Ask yourself: am I run-ning away from - or towards - something? The answer holds the your key to your success.
LibraSept 23 -
Oct 22A situation, today, reminds you that to reach the uppermost branches of a tree, you need a ladder (not a rocket). Take the easiest options available. Here comes a welcome shortcut.
AquariusJan 20 - Feb 18
Being adaptable is precious; flexibility is an underrated com-modity, and the ability to change is a blessing. Don't worry about appearing to be inconsistent. You're just moving on.
CancerJune 21 - July 22
Everyone has their ups and downs, it's not that you're just moody. This week, you'll expe-rience (and enjoy) a lightness and joy that you've been miss-ing recently. You deserve it.
ScorpioOct 23 - Nov 21
As you prepare to work towards finishing a project, you have the time & ability to choose what goes into it. Don't be afraid to make your mark, whether it's art, business or anything else.
PiscesFeb 19 - Mar 20
If you're questioning if you need to put yourself out on a limb, the stakes are nowhere near as high as you believe. You're not so vulnerable. A portal of possibility is open.
