Yes, more weather related stuff…. The heat wave we had endured a couple of weeks ago was ended by a cold front that brought thunderstorms to many parts of the province and those storms included some pretty heavy downpours. All we got here was some nice rain, enough to cool the forests down a bit. However, the mountains inland got the heavy downpours and that runoff came out via the Squamish River. The sediments being washed down turned the river into a chocolate brown. As the now brown water met the Sound, the tide was going out and it drew the runoff with it. Instead of the usual mixing of the fresh and salt water, the river water stayed on top of the ocean water and stayed together, forming a meandering river on top of the Sound’s salt water. I took these shots from a gondola cabin because I found it interesting. Then the heat came back and more forest fires started, most human causes as per usual.

This has been one of those weeks from hell. Sue had been getting hard to deal with as her moods and anger were getting out of control. It became apparent that one of her meds, the one that helps control anxiety etc needed to be upped. I’m not qualified to make that kind of call so I did manage to make an appointment with the doctor but its not until the first week of next month. It also became apparent that we could not wait that long so I got back on the phone and explained the situation and was finally able to talk to an NP who agreed that her meds needed to be upped. So, I was able to double her evening med and that did help.
