It relates to this:

Kelowna Daily Courier, Jan 6-09 obituary

As well, I heart the Sonoran Desert in Osooyos, Canada's most unique ecosystem. I can't help mentioning that there's a petition to establish an Okanagan-Similkameen National Park. In case anyone is interested:

Oh! The Observatory!!

Keremeos! Hedley! Coldstream! Ponderosa pine! Sage! You can probably tell a bit of my heart never left the area.

Peace & Love Okanagans

Hi no caste: I indeed live in Kelowna, so only about half hour away from Osoyoos. I was not aware about the park issue. I love living here but it is expensive & our climate is also changing. I have not yet been to the observatory but I have heard about it. I must make a trip there now that you mention it. this area is know for its fair share of UFO activity, for whatever reason.

Where are you now?
