BC has a new time zone abbreviation: PCT. PCT stands for Pacific Time, BC’s single year-round time zone. It replaces PST and PDT, providing a consistent way to refer to BC’s time zone in schedules, systems and communications. No falling back this November.

Happy Fall y’all! #Vancouver #BritishColumbia #Canada
Fluffy white cumulostratus clouds surround a jigsaw piece of blue sky and loom over a harbor with a foreground peninsula of green trees, some leaves changing to gold, and a city at the base of a blue mountain range.

Poem with purple text on a nature photo described below:

Text of poem: 

Boreal words to define
An evergreen tree is a pine.
To prowl like a fox is vulpine.
To howl like a wolf is lupine,
but also a flower: lupine,
a sweet mountain bloom—that’s alpine.

–Anne M. Lipton

Photo: Purple lupine flowers, green pines, and green deciduous trees with a distant blue mountain range under a pale blue sky dotted by a couple of small white clouds.

#September11 #NeverForget
We are all New Yorkers,
We all felt the blast—
in our hearts—our voices
United in a gasp.

We are all New Yorkers,
Our innocence is past,
We are all New Yorkers
and we can't go back.

We are all New Yorkers,
Our Liberty still stands,
We are all New Yorkers,
and we all wear black.
