Happy Friday!
The days are getting shorter with sunrise in Kelowna coming at 7:24 a.m. Winter is coming.
Fun Fact of the day:
The Whale, a novel written by American writer Herman Melville, was first published on this day 168 years ago in London, England. The novel’s name would be changed to Moby Dick a month after its initial release as Melville thought it would be a better selling title.
Only the U.S. versions would include the new title when published in America on Nov. 14, 1851.
“When, after all this silence, his unearthly voice was heard announcing that silvery, moon-lit jet, every reclining mariner started to his feet as if some winged spirit had lighted in the rigging, and hailed the mortal crew. ‘There she blows!’”
