How was your weekend?
My weekend was good. I was camping in Tofino this past weekend. I saw the photo. It looked more like glamping. Well, it's car camping, so yeah, it's...
You set up a TV for the soccer match yesterday.
Well, it's my laptop. They do have Wi-Fi at the campsite. That is clamping. The office has a big screen TV as well, but they were like minutes behind my laptop. I had a small group around the fire watching. watching on my laptop, and we were wooing way before then. And you know what? I'm ready for the World Cup to be done. Yeah, it was time. It was time. But I do miss just that phenomenal, sitting around and just hearing random cheers. Oh, yeah. For sure. It's pretty cool stuff. It's been a great ride.
It was an amazing experience. I wish the game was a little better. Yes, yes. We'll get into that a little later here in the program. Shout out to our friends, Kevin Oates and John Keene from Kamloops. I played golf with them on Friday. Kevin Oates, the pro at River Shore, where we have played a fair bit over the years. My hole in one anniversary buddy as well. and got a chance to meet and tee it up with John Keene, who, of course, is the play-by-play voice of the Kamloops Blazers. And, boy, are they expecting a big day next month when Logan Stankoven comes home. Well, he's home with the Stanley Cup. When the Stanley Cup visits Carolina. His day. Hurricanes forward Logan Stankoven, a born-and-bred Kamloops guy who played for the Blazers and, needless to say, has a full day of festivities going.
with the chalice there in Kamloops. So thanks to John and to Kevin for making a good day on Friday. Let's get to our Nation Gear Daily Poll question. And it's something we didn't drill down on Thursday when we were still digesting the National Hockey League and Vancouver Canucks schedule, but we're going to drill down on it today. This is irregular. The Vancouver Canucks have 16 midweek home games this season. I mean, that's almost half the schedule. Starting before 7 p.m. 12 of them start at 6 p.m. Three of them start at 6.30 p.m. One of them even starts at 5.30 p.m. And so we're asking you, how does that work for you? Better?
Better?
or worse than your standard 7 p.m. game starts.
Well, it's funny you used the word standard. Pacific Standard Time.
Right. It's very good, Blake Price.
No longer a thing. And that's the reason for all of this. It wasn't just a random, hey, let's try this out. Although that might be interesting with this West Coast lifestyle here where people go to bed a little bit earlier than other cities in the world. But no, this is all because of the daylight savings time thing, of which, read today, Some in the Senate expect it to be a very close vote as to whether or not the Senate will put it through in the United States, even though Trump is advocating for his own party to do it. Why would that be the case?
Just to screw California, Oregon, and Washington?
No, no, no. Is there a – The main thrust from the – because there's so much crime and we're so worried about the public is dark mornings and putting kids in school buses and kids walking to school in the darkness. That seems to be the biggest opposition to it. Yeah. So there is a chance that all this is for naught, that by the time they drop the puck, the Senate has passed it, and we're back onto three-hour time difference between the East and the Pacific. And I would guess they bumped these back up.
