Corey’s “Free Ride” Blog: Keep Calm

Sometimes, the rainy days turn out to be the best ones.

11am – 12:43pm: Okanagan Koi & Water Gardens (1605 Garner Rd, @ Hwy 33)
Call me a silver lining kind of guy.  Had the weather been nice enough to keep me outdoors for the duration of my 103 minutes at Koi Lady junction, I may not have noticed the re-positioned merchandise for sale.  Example: Okanagan Koi ball caps, complete with the phrase “Keep Calm & Keep Koi” embroidered on the side!  Normally, I am against the whole “Keep Calm & I’m Trying To Be Clever” schtick, but there is something beautiful about Keep Calm & Keep Koi (and I am not just saying that because I don’t want to bash a client on my award-winning blog*).  So it was a silver lining to a sky full of soppy rain clouds.

3 – 4:43pm: Central Okanagan Food Bank (2310 Enterprise Way)
I am usually good at taking several photos from each remote and posting to this award-winning blog.*
Here are some reasons I only took 1 picture:
– It was raining steadily, and I stood beneath the CO Food Bank tent the whole time;
– The Tammies (2 women named Tammy, though I don’t know if they both spell it the same way, so I am pluralizing them as Tammies) are very engaging;
– I DID take a picture with one Tammy, and I was going to steal it off the Food Bank’s social page, but it did not get posted yet;
– There was plenty of music-related chit chat going on;
– Despite the inclement weather, several contest-goers stayed for hotdogs and talk (perhaps a new show idea?);
– At one point, singer Howard Jones was a topic;

In lieu of my own photos, I will post a picture of Howard Jones. I did not know who he was.  I am sorry.
Thank you for donating food and cash, our listeners are the greatest!!
