Sept 7th still feels like summer!

The man who got rid of Rob Anders, Ron Liepert, may come for breakfast soon.

Best line of the day: “ Busier than Donald Trump’s PR firm”. (A. Lockhart.)

Members:

Brett Bain. Some like it really hot: Brett and Vicki are Phoenix bound next week.

Sean Baylis. When Sean smiles, markets beckon. B of C i-rate is up again and maybe heading higher. C$ is up nicely and may just rise more, too.

Home Depot shares climb in lockstep with DIY projects.

Jim Bladon.  Hmm, not sure how to say this subtly so: Jim’s boss really was going deaf; Ian confirmed it. • With I-rates on the rise, he suggests your budgets reflect higher money costs.

Paul Boucher.  Can you envision Andy and Gord in skorts and waving pom-poms? How about as cheerleaders for the Birds? We’re championing Paul to be chosen to voice the Trailer for an upcoming Pixar movie.

Greg Callander. 

Ian Campbell. His summer spot is threatened by forrest fires.

Matt Dart. In richness and in food: The 1-percenters are big into food and food futures. For people, dogs and fish.

Don Davis. Black balls of Bitumen! Seems scientists have found a way to congeal bitumen for transport by train. Easy to clean up. And cheap to do at railhead. Feasibility studies are underway.

Todd Dean.

George Doherty.

Don Doolan. Taking rain dance lessons? Don and Yvonne’s summer/fall plans have been going up in smoke.

Ken Eades. 

Tony Fisher. Business is picking up for the fall. Meanwhile, the Gap is closing 20% of its stores and Toys’R Us is looking at bankruptcy protection.

Gord Forsyth . Those who can, golf. Those who can’t, watch the Shaw Classic, in person.

Mel Gibson.

Henry Heuver. Joan was carrying some of her canning downstairs, when she fell. She’s been in the hospital since Monday. May get home today or Friday. No broken bones but she has stitches and bruising to remind her of her fall.

David Hicks.  Kilts make men do weird things. Dave spent last weekend watching cabers being hurled, bagpipes being tuned and dining at Crazy Weeds Diner (in Canmore)

Bill Hoogstratten. 

Dan Kennelly?  ’Tis better to give people what they need. Dan mentioned how people with good intentions often send the wrong thing: donors filled up a warehouse with bottled water in Haiti. It lasted a day. But $325.00 would have purchased a Water purifier that can turn out potable water, day after day.

Keith Kozak.

Matt Litke. He talked about the Cycle of Service. How one good thing leads to another good thing  … to almost become like a perpetual service dynamic.

Andy Lockhart. You wooden want to miss this! SAWS is having an exhibition this weekend at South Centre Mall. Starts tomorrow.

J.D. MacDonald. Business is starting to shape up.

Michael McLennan. 

Ross Mikkelsen. You can burn it once but you cannot burn it again. Seems charcoal is, for the first time ever, banned under the current fire ban. Kind of dampens sales of the stuff.

Mike Mikkelson .

Brad Pachal. Hiking tails are closing all over. Brad was to hike around Crow’s Nest Pass but not this summer.

Gerry Parcells.

Bruce Roblin. 

Dwayne Vink. His mining company has launched a private placement (with warrants as sweeteners) of $3/4 million. • Dwayne is not pleased with Robin Hood strategy of Trudeau government, via Bill Morneau’s taxing plans.

Bob Wiggins.

Chris Wright. 

George Roberts.
