Oh, it's raining again

The summary

In the news, remember how nice and warm it was a month ago? Well, that was then. This is now. Much of the South Coast is under a rainfall warning with up to 70mm expected by day’s end. Also, the snow level is dropping to 300 metres tonight and it’s going to get windy. Speaking of gloom, the Canadian fellow charged with attacking U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul…well immigration folks in the States say he never moved south legally. He’s from Powell Rive and spent time in Vernon. There’s no word yet on planned attempts to send him back home.

More signs of a troubled economy and proof that the real estate bubble can burst. With interest rates rising and inflation still high, housing prices are starting to fall. I say this as I’m reminded of my conversation with an Uber driver who ridesplained that six to seven out of ten B.C. mortgages are based on falsified income earnings. No proof of that - but he and my former brother-in-law know best.
