Thanks for tuning in everyone. I’m humbled. 11,000 followers in last 36 hours. I need a rest. Eyes are shutting. West Kelowna is calm. Kelowna is calm. Lake country is calm. Anything major I’ll be on her in a minute. Will have my ear buds on with the scanner plugged in. Cheers!

To all news agencies that have asked me for interviews. I appreciate it, but I’ll stay anonymous. I really don’t need the pat on the back or the offers of money. I’m volunteering just like many others are to help the community.
