    I love how you mentioned the Dairy Queen at Lakewood. I was 6, we lived in an apartment on Pandora street, it was the year the "twoonie" was released and my mom would let me walk up and get a chocolate covered ice cream cone. I knew all the unhoused people.. she would also let me go to 711 for a slurpee... The memories of whag I'd spend my tooth fairy money on.

    When my Dad was driving cab in Vancouver in the early seventies, he stopped outside the Penthouse nightclub for a fare and lo and behold, there stood 'chief' Dan George with two gorgeous hookers, arm in arm. When Dad dropped them off at an expensive hotel, he said to Dan George, 'I bet your heart is soaring like a hawk right about now'. Dan George looked embarrassed and said nothing.

    The first time we were here we saw a Canadian woman walk out of her house and walk her dog in the US. Half an hour later, after we'd walked around in Canada taking pictures, as we walked back into the US she was going back into her house. In the 90s one of my friends, Cliff, used to smuggle fireworks into Canada for Chinese New Year. He'd go down with his friends in a car and buy a load of fireworks on the reservations. They'd go into Peace Arch Park then two would cross into Canada with the fireworks. The other two would then take the car across at the truck crossing and pick them up. Years later Cliff was working in Silicon Valley and bought his first car. He decided to drive home to show his parents. He pulled into the customs channel on the Canadian side and pulled out his passport. The border guard looked him right in the eyes and said "No fireworks this time Cliff?" They had always known. Entering Canada as an American is always more pleasant than entering the US as an American.

    JCVC you do a lot of videos about Graves etc and there's nothing wrong with that at all. You be you. However, one doesn't go from being alive to unalive. One goes from being alive to being even more alive and on an exponential level. Those friends who died, they would all say in common, "Don't you worry about a thing. Our friendship is on another level. If you could see me now. I don't remember the details. I inky remember the love." The array of powers that those in the afterlife have are unimaginable. They exist in a time dynamic where time travel is time experienced on an objective level and not on a subjective level. That's what Einstein meant when he said linear time is an illusion all is happening simultaneously. Psychics say that those who have graduated to the majorly phase of life send us signs. There is direct communication, indirect communication and there is signs. At first it seems that the direct form is the most direct. In time one finds that the direct is least direct because people can lie and that signs are the most direct from of communication. I wish you the best. Your videos are life changing. Very high quality. There is something nostalgic about them I like the Jericho Hostel and the Vancouver Museum and the Vancouver Maritime Museum videos of yours the best.
