A very interesting conversation today in a caff with someone about the energy sector. I assumed we were exporting power in BC, the image of surplus of power must be a stale one from years ago when a rebate was offered to some low income families. How and ever we are actually importing power, the demand having outgrown supply.  We are importing power from the US.

more links to follow, have to explore this question of power supply more and where the incentives lie or are being created around consumer reduction. The introduction by BC Hydro of two tier billing I found both beneficial to me and progressive. I made one attempt to get off the grid somewhat  a few years ago, but unfortunately it ended promptly and basically was a disaster,

Ding

Sa lá atá inniu fuair mé fear an-ólta ar an tsráid

Rinne sé a tóg ar píosa adhmaid agus titim sé

Chuaigh mé dó

Cén fáth a bhfuil tú ólta sin ag an uair seo go luath d’iarr mé?

Dúirt sé, bhí sé 25

Agus bhí sé ag dul chuig an ospidéal a bhailiú a earrings Diamond

Rinne mé a insint dó baile chun dul agus ba chóir dúinn glaoch duine chun cuidiú leis

D’fhéadfadh sé a bhí mo mhac Ding

Cad a tharla don den sórt sin a fear óg a chur air sa stát seo?
Dúirt sé go raibh sé an-ait gur labhair mé dó!

Snookool

Played snooker or pool or whatever the table, blue chalk, triangle and solid balls in the holes adds upto with two women ce soir who were spectacular at it. Due to three players, one woman, had to take her turn for each of the two players. I do not everrecall playing snooker or pool, I have seen the men in waistcoats playin’ it on the telly and may have waved at cue at the table on another occasion. These two women, claiming to know nothing and be terrible, were astonishing. A shot behind the back and under the arm, a bounce it off the bottom and back up the top and something pops into another hole. I was very adept at putting the white ball in the hole without it touching any ball whatsoever.

The surface of the table not green but purple.

I think I prefer watching tennis but pool is possibly more compelling than badminton.

More importantly watched the marvellous C Snatch Z (pronounced shh. Snatch) perform two pieces. Her pieces are cohesive in their colour, sound, rhythm, language, politik, image with dance as the central tenet. Her physicality is mesmerizing and how it informs and coalesces with these other aspects. Her risk is infused with intelligence.  We were talking briefly about contemporary dance after and she mentioned a Japanese form of visual art dance, something I’d never heard of.
