The 600+ students at Gulf Islands Secondary had a chance to experience wheelchair basketball. There were enough chairs for four teams at a time (2 games, cross-court). From what I saw, it was a very big hit!
In the photo above, the green team had three participants from a boys’ school team. They figured out how to squash their opponents with a fast-break strategy…and seemed somehow comfortable shooting quickly from a sitting position.
Before the price goes up again.
For a while there, the local CO-OP gas station was having a hard time keeping up with the rocketing price increases on Vancouver Island.
They’ve pretty much got the heck of it now.
Some years back Salt Spring Island was known for having the highest gas prices in Canada.
On the BC Ferry pier at Crofton, heading back to Salt Spring Island
The big green Shamrock Fuels truck is coming off the ferry, having taken an earlier dangerous cargo ride over to Salt Spring.
The camera’s shutter speed was not fast enough to stop the motion of truck in the foreground, hence a blur that hints at the feeling you get as the pier shakes a bit as tons of truck parts noisily accelerate by a couple of feet away.
Meanwhile, looking back through the side mirror of my wee truck, we see someone paying at the toll booth. And there’s Rick of noofoto fame bringing his own kind of dangerous cargo back to Salt Spring (in his school bus) from a skating trip on Vancouver Island.
I came across this photo taken during the recent frost/snow event on Salt Spring. Lots to see here; I’m thinking it might be fun to poke around inside the shop behind.
3pm on a daytrip to Vancouver
There’s brother-in-law Bill, sitting on the front lawn with his new Lamborghini. Zero to 100 km/h in 3.2 sec. That will get you to the office in record time Billy-boy.
I think he’s keeping up with the neighbours:
