![cel](https://bbad.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8c12cf74e5427db83655a807fbc6b7e01d1628e7.gif) It just occurred to me that, in a few weeks, BBAD will be 20 years old. It has lasted twice as long as the Zone (even including the old Village days), where many of us started. We were never as successful as the Zone, even at our peak 15 years ago, but we’ve got legs. 🙂 I honestly see no reason we won’t be here in another 10 or 15 years. I’m not sure about 20 as I expect (but do not hope) to be dead. Time will tell, and don’t count us out until it does. ---

Congrats. Tried to log in from the Surrey Main Library today and it would not let me . Why have I lost the ability to post pics? Long life to 102 for Reg. ---

There’s no reason you can’t post pics. Are you clicking the image button? Or pasting images in directly? Both should work. ![image](https://bbad.com/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c151a8c44f340c0ff556e4ed68c66401ba75734b.png) > [@Greg](#): > > Long life to 102 for Reg. I hope to live until it’s not pleasant to do so anymore, however long that is. ---

When I die, BBAD will die, unless someone comes along before then with the skills and inclination to keep it alive. ---

I do not plan to die anytime soon, although that’s obviously a crapshoot. ---

I used to want BBAD to be wildly successful. Then I just wanted it to be busy. Now I just want it to be BBAD. I do recall last week having a pain in the left side of my chest and I first thought of Isa and then I thought about BBAD. Turned out to be a shoulder blade muscle ache so I doubt I’ll die this week. I doubt any of you would know if I did. Just suddenly at some point I would stop posting, and some time after that when my credit cards for hosting got declined, BBAD would throw a “Site not found” error. So if that happens for a long time, you can just assume I’m dead. ---

I think Isa would let us know you passed on. Hope the two of you are gone. ---

She doesn’t post on BBAD. She doesn’t have FB. I imagine you would call and ask and she’d tell you. Any of you can call, actually. My number is 604-783-5000 but I’m not sure how long that will work after I die. ---

You’re both in my prayers of course. Added that wounded policemen in Belleville, Ont.to my nightly prayer. The truck and trailer below were in this area before I showed up. Rice Mill Rd. Guy talked to me once. Now his face seems swollen and has gash under his left eye. Heard ppl claiming to be Surrey HA threaten homeless ppl at the Ironwood Library nearby once. One guy on a motorcycle and one on motorized wheel thing at the park nearby claimed to be Surrey HA as did some dork with short hair and his son with a model plane today. Jacobsen Way nearby 9 AM guy in drivers seat smoking hard drugs a White man car is silver with big splotches on side facing rd. Never seen either before. New car here at park hood up all day guy tall with black baseball hat sticking to himself occ tinkering with the engine. Went to Circle K at Williams and No 4 bought a big bottled water. Harman gave good service 2 ppl hanging around outside were freindly. Vietnam real short guy plus 50 with new Canucks hat came in said, “ Shut your bitch mouth” to me I replied, “ Get out of Canada unwanted immigrant.” This caused the two freindly ppl to leave. Couple ppl waved to me from behind the fence at the RCMP station on the way back. Sun is going down 20 to 7. ![IMG_0640](https://bbad.com/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4df06800c8e63f824addbabf7eb6b9b6ba87a971.jpeg) ---
