Golden

And then the other time was on our way back from Salmon Arm this summer.

And we converged our two vehicles upon a restaurant in Golden, B.C. and ate a meal there for lunch.

It was pretty quiet.

Didn't need a reservation whatsoever.

I love getting up super early and kind of being the first one awake and hanging the dog out.

And, you know, I've rented the ice here in Golden a couple of times and just gone and done figures and then done my own choreography to headphones while the Zamboni driver thinks I'm crazy.

But it's, mornings are a special time and I lost so many of those just being like epically hurting or getting up and having to walk the dog and puking in a snowbank and then going back to bed and being like man I didn't I wasn't there for her she needed a better walk than and I've wasted half a day and you know those rare times when I was drinking but I had a morning that I got up early and got to enjoy it and see the sunrise.

It was so awesome.

And, and there was success in the nineties.

Uh, you know, there's a mill in, in, uh, still today in, in Golden, BC that, uh, was, uh, you know, saved by the job protection commissioner.

It was, it was gonna close.

And, uh, It restructured, you know, got some support from the workers, the community, you know, I can't remember all the players, hydro, you know, whatever, and was able to pivot, start creating another product, ultimately got bought out by a larger international company.

Now, what's the point of the story? Four months later, I go train this company.

We're in Golden, British Columbia at the Quantum Leaps Lodge, just as you go into Golden on the Trans Canada Highway.

I'm training this company, training their executives, senior vice presidents, management.

And we leave at the end of the day of the training.

Okay.

So we're walking down by the river.

It's on the side of Golden in the Canadian Rockies.

And he says, I got a question to ask you.

This next segment was sent to me before my coverage of this topic.

It comes from Scott Weir from Golden Acres Farm in Golden.

Scott wasn't addressing the ALR stuff, but part of his message dovetails nicely with the concerns you just heard from Aras.

Scott sent me this on August 5th.

Hey Jordan, this is Scott Weir from Golden Acres Farm in Golden, BC.

It's been a while since I've given you an update that I figured I should do one while I'm thinking about it.

We had over the weekend a 28-hour power outage.

I'm sure their stuff didn't fall out.
