Needed: Temporary Stay

My bathroom is getting work done on the plumbing and and fixtures on January 6th and may take up to 9 days to complete.

Does anyone have an extra room or couch I could stay until the work is done as I will have no bathroom plumbing during these days.

Please let me know by calling 250 246-7916. I have lousy cell reception so please leave a message.

Free: Bay Leaves & Branches

We trimmed our Bay tree, so, there are lots of fresh leaves for the taking.

The branches are piled against the bank at the entrance to 161 Pilkey Point.

Very Sophisticated Banking Fraud - Beware!

This evening I received three phone calls in quick succession from 1-888-872-2422, which the call display identified as CIBC Bank, with the normal CIBC robot voice giving me three different verification codes for online transactions, and telling me, if I did not make these transactions, I was to call the same number (which is numerically very similar to CIBC).  We called the number suggested in the message and realized that we were being asked to give our card number.  Fortunately we stopped in time. We then called CIBC's real number 1-800-465-2422.  They checked and confirmed that they had made no calls to us. Later, we received another two calls, this time both from Ontario, 226-545-0058. 

Please be alert to this scam - it is very believable.
