Now Christmas
World peace: I do my best to get Bev what she would like for Christmas but I don’t get much help or suggestions.
This year she simply wanted me to give her world peace. I searched high and low and to my surprise I found it. I told Bev that I found world peace, however, it is located at the end of Sullivan Arm on Kinbasket Lake. In order for me to take her there I would require a Navionics Chip for my fish finder to guide her there safely.
World peace, however, will come with a cost. The response I received is there may be no world peace for the remainder of 2015. However, I assured her that there is a journey one can take in the pursuit of world peace and that journey would come in February at the Calgary Boat Show. We may luck out and find a discount for world peace. It is my hope that in 2016 I can share some of that world peace with friends.
Until that happens, on behalf of the Detachment Members, staff and volunteers at Columbia Valley Detachment we wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
