What's the difference between a literalist and a kleptomaniac? A literalist takes things literally, and a kleptomaniac takes things, literally.

This one guy was at a theater and he was sprawled out over 3 seats. The usher came by and told the guy to move. The guy mumbled but didn't answer. He went and got the manag-er. The manager said to the man, "Sir, if you don't move, I'll call the police to have you

removed." The guy mumbled, but didn't answer. So the manager called the police and a cop came over. The cop said to the man, "Hey mister. What's your name?" The man said,"Pete."

The cop asked,"Where ya from, Pete?" He said, "The balcony."My wife said she couldn't find her house keys anywhere. "Quite right," I replied. "You will

only find them where they last were."

MARK MY WORDS, THIS IS A GREAT DEAL ON HIGHLIGHTERS!

COVID death at Nicola Meadows

Monday, Interior Health reported on the current outbreak of COVID-19 at Nicola Meadows assisted living/inde-pendent living, here in Merritt — seven cases: four residents and three staff, with one death connected to the outbreak.

Condolences to the family.

Internet upgrades for local reserves

Telus will receive up to $3.58 million from the Connecting British Columbia pro-gram for projects to improve the speed and reliability of internet access in com-munities within the territories of the Ash-croft Indian Band, Upper Nicola Band, Cook's Ferry First Nation, Shackan Indi-an Band, Bonaparte First Nation, Saik'uz First Nation, Kitselas First Nation, Lheid-li T'enneh and Coldwater Indian Band.

Telus has received conditional approv-al for several projects, including Upper Nicola Band, Cook's Ferry First Nation, Shackan Indian Band & Douglas Lake (up to $789,508) and Coldwater Indian Band (up to $185,173), among others.

“These projects are an important step to ensuring people in Indigenous com-munities have the connectivity they need to stay in touch with friends and family, market their businesses online, access remote education and training and ben-efit from the convenience of technologies like video conferencing,” said Lisa Beare, Minister of Citizens’ Services.

Lytton Creek wildfire update

The Lytton Crk wildfire is current-ly mapped at 84,536.0 hectares, slightly smaller than at the peak of fire activity. It is now considered 'Aactive'.

Monday the fire received varying amounts of precipitation from 4-12mm, and temperatures dropped as low as 3-5 degrees overnight. Yesterday was sunny with temperatures in the low 20s, but no significant fire activity was expected, nor significant growth hobserved. Helicopters continued bucketing hot spots as needed.

Heavy equipment work on the fire guard along the southern edge of the fire is progressing well. The machine-built fire guard running east from Hwy 8 & west from wy 97C wass expected to con-nect this week. Hydro crews are working along highway 8 to replace hydro poles.

Fire crews are working in collabora-tion with the Lower Nicola Indian Band on guard work in the Highway 8 area. Work is ongoing to strengthen the fi-reguard from Highway 8 to the west.

Crews continue to work on measures to contain the northeast fire's edge. A guard is being put in by connecting hand-cleared sections, a widened section of an existing forest service road and ma-chine-cleared sections, and hose is being laid along the line.

Most of the evacuation orders have been rescinded or downgraded.

Thoughts from outside the box: Counterfeit Greatness

Faithless, many faces bow before passing sensations. Perhaps they be vic-tims of maya’s counterfeit greatness? Is this the status of the slavish? If so, then freedom must resonate with the princi-ples of Heaven, such as love, humility, and compassion — Mike Bhangu
