ABOVE THE FOG
Hiking up Mount Benson

The Fog above Nanaimo |
On this Saturday morning in February, I set off to hike up Mount Benson with Gabe, a dog borrowed from a friend, for company. The morning starts out cold and foggy-a far cry from the weather forecast of clear skies-but the dog doesn't seem to mind.
There is a thin skiff of ice on Benson View Road as we approach the new parking area at the official trail- head access to the Mount Benson Regional Park.

The On-Going Saga of a Novice Kayak Fisherman and Confessed Fishing Nut
Keno.
That's what started it.
I was sitting in Muddy Waters Pub enjoying a brew and a basket of hot wings. It was wing night. Hot wings and beer are two of my favourite vegetables. Just then, I had a hunch. No, no, not like Quasimodo. ...mind you, the name does ring a bell.
I got 'the feeling' . ...I should play my numbers in Keno. So, I did.
I paid for two draws. I paid for the 'bonus', too. Cost me four bucks. ...As you can see, I'm not what one would call a high-stakes gambler.
Well, the first draw won me $2, the second, zip, but I still had 'the feeling'.
