Which parks exactly are being flooded with people on prayer mats?

If you tried that in Mundy, you’d likely get hit in the head with a frisbee.

Most of the other parks I know of in Coquitlam don’t have enough flat space to do such a thing, being filled as they are with trees and trails.

Tri Cities? Sure… there are also people doing yoga, going for prayer walks, sword dancing, and many other things from many cultures. But none are really flooding anywhere.

And retirement would be in 5 years.

The fact that their choice is incomprehensible to those in charge speaks volumes.

Why did people immediately connect Night Watch with GoT’s Night’s Watch, when there’s both a perfectly good book and TV miniseries by the name that seems much more apropos?

He probably did. What he’s saving us for now… that’s another thing.

I mean, has anyone ever seen them at the same time?

Why not both-and?

And I’d bet that even some of the individual accounts are opportunists who have since become state influenced.

Hegseth criticizes Scouting for being "genderless" and for promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.

Imagine thinking this is a BAD thing.
