Ponderosa Steakhouse, once a beloved national brand of buffet-style steakhouses, has only 13 locations left. Its sister brand, Bonanza Steakhouse, has just 3 locations left. I had hoped this one was open when I saw the sign, but nope.

An evacuation order has been issued for the entire Village of Slocan, home to around 380 people at the south end of Slocan Lake, effective 8 a.m. PT Sunday, due to increasing fire activity from the Ponderosa wildfire, now mapped at 6.3 square kilometres, and the Mulvey Creek wildfire at 10.6 square kilometres.

An updated estimate on Sunday morning from the Regional District of Central Kootenay shows that 867 properties in the Slocan Lake wildfire complex, which includes Slocan and surrounding areas, were on evacuation order.

The announcement comes in response to recommendations from the BC Wildfire Service, which is anticipating a warming and drying trend along with elevated winds in the coming days, said Dan Elliott, RDCK Communications Officer.

Evacuees are directed to head south to the Emergency Support Services reception centre at Selkirk College near Castlegar, B.C. Slocan is located around 145 km east of Kelowna as the crow flies in B.C.'s southeast.

"We understand that everyone is frustrated, nervous, and stressed in these situations, so we aim to provide as much information and time as possible for residents to prepare to leave," Elliott told CBC News.

The RDCK had previously ordered evacuations for properties in the nearby Village of Silverton, about 28 kilometres north of Slocan, due to the Aylwin Creek wildfire.

words

final exam tomorrow, still got work to do & panic is setting in (for realsies this time) so i decided it would be a great idea to put words together. will probably delete later lol but have this for now

dangit im having emotions again.

listened to die with a smile, and it reminds me so much as the world caves in oddly enough. the setiment is the same, albeit sung in polar opposite ways.

theyre both so soft and sweet. so different yet so similar. the love is so pure and deep, and remains as such both while waiting and preparing for the end.

--

so i reflect a little, because i think interpretations are more often than not reflections of ourselves. other times being external influence or some other variable. anyway

the beauty of love to me lies in its many colours and shades. to live and fall in love with life, of friends and family, for strangers and stars, hymns and humanity, for nature and knowledge.

apocalyptic love songs is probably my favourite genre of music ever. (honourable mention to wasteland baby btw)

theres something so soothing about the thought of having your person (or people) by your side at the end of it all… theres no going back to what we had nor what was, but i have you. had you. and thats all i want. wanted. augh

--

back to my inner turmoil, sometimes i wonder if i yearn to love (and be loved) because despite everything telling me otherwise i still see myself as unloveable. not truely at least. much less as deeply.

"water water everywhere, nor any drop to drink". i have so much to give but not for me. never for me. to so much as spare it a second of thought is sacriledge.

i crave to be held, and not to a standard. but how do you unlearn that.

--

'my soul has been put out and needs another to relight it', i think to myself. this dependence, the need for.. other, it scares me. it leaves me vulnerable. 'its inevitable though', i offer back sensibly. i can only hold the truth off for so long.

when i drop my unlit matches, am i waiting for someone to put them back in my hand? someone who will offer me a light anyway? will someone point out the fact and leave me to pick up after myself?

i continue to waste away in my thoughts as my matches are now rendered useless by the damp.

i dont notice.

Having a bit of fun, experimenting with how the light plays on the pine and walls as it streams in during the early morning. 

Every morning is a bit different…

Let me know which you prefer? If there is one you like more than the other.
