Lots of people walk there who don't know anything about gold.

 

I prefer the company of prospectors and claim jumpers, myself. But to each his own.

It’s a pretty easy mixup. I know a lot about jogging AND golfing, and I’ve made the error more than once.

The golfers go ballistic, but I’m unsure what the emergency is.

I’m not jogging across the greens.

I don't blame you. A jog across the green would be the equivalent of a day's exercise for most VV forumers.

I like to cultivate the impression that we're all a bunch of out-of-shape retirement-age computer nerds. Mainly because I love seeing how people react when they learn we're actually a bunch of buff & ultra-fit 20-somethings with great teeth, flawless complexions, and mops of luxuriant long hair.

There's lots of places you could do this. Panama flats. Layritz park area/Wilkinson Jail lands etc etc. Lots of big parks where you could encroach into with housing. Cedar Hill golf course is a park, setup for a sport.



I was hoping they would expand the prison, so judges can house more repeat violent offenders.

“..The Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre at 4216 Wilkinson Rd. was cited in a recent Auditor General progress audit on correctional facilities as the worst offender in B.C. for overcrowding, with 66 per cent of inmates “double bunked” as of 2018. When the audit began in 2015, the target was half that, set at 32 per cent shared living units..”: https://www.vicnews....nich-jail-52896

On a computer note, how do you do a strike through on a Mac computer, I have tried many different key combos and none work for me.

 

Lots of people walk there who don't know anything about gold golf.

The "strike through" is part of the VV platform. If you go to type a post you will see a number of font selections in the tool bar above the text area.

 

B   I   U   S   

 

Highlight the word you want to strike through and click on the S

Yeah... no. It's an ok course but given a list of all 18 hole courses on the Island, its well in the bottom half.
