A Big Thank You to our Wonderful First Responders 😍

I want to extend a huge thank you to our first responders for coming to my aid when I decided, for some reason, that it would be a good idea to crush the tip of my pinky finger in my log splitter.

They arrived in no time, prepped the wound, and soon had me on the Island Responder and off to Duncan hospital, where they were able to sew my nearly severed fingertip back on. Time will tell how well it heals but at least it looks like a finger again.

I owe y'all a beer or three. :-)

Once again, thank you so much.

Poor Air Quality: Consider Avoiding/Postponing Outdoor Exercise

The air quality on Thetis is very poor right now (as of 4:30pm the sensor at the Community Hall reads 112 fine particles per cubic meter; a sensor in Chemainus reads 109, and one in Ladysmith reads is 153). When the air is this polluted, deep breathing can trigger Asthma attacks and worsen COPD and other lung diseases, so consider avoiding/postponing exercise or other physical activity until the air quality improves.

See https://map.purpleair.com/ for real time readings, and 

https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current for forecasts for the next 7 days.
