Jen's brother-in-law (out-law really since he's not married to her sister) didn't believe me when I told him the pulp mill in Kamloops is very pretty at night. Here it is, seen across the Thompson River, the river formed by the confluence of the two major rivers, North and South Thompson. The Thompson River (born, as one should already understand, right in the city of Kamloops) itself ends when it joins the Fraser River at Lytton. The South Thompson, one of the two from which it is comprised, flows from the Little Shuswap Lake, and the North Thompson takes its genesis from the Rocky Mountains in the Valemont area.

You don't know the rivers in Kamloops?
It's the fricking Thompson.
Why would I
care at all about the river names in Kamloops?

Thank you Elaina, I hadn't the heart to set him straight in public, but after all, from which university DID he graduate? Not Fraser River U this I can tell you....
There are three
That is why it is Thompson RiverS university. I just thought they had different names, and guessed at one of said names.
And mom, you would have jumped at a chance to correct me if you'd seen the text :p Elaina beat you to it :D
Seriously, wait. You really didn't know?
THOMPSON RIVERS UNIVERSITY! It's at the spot where the North Thompson joins the South Thompson and they converge to become the ... regular Thompson. I'd rather they'd named it SuperThompson or something, but I live with what we have.
Okay
You may relax, and take great humour in my river-related error. For some reason I always thought it was where the thompson joins the fraser, but I realise my wrongs and have corrected the mistake. I think someone equally geographically challenged schooled mein the local water bodies many years ago.
those rivers
I happily give Elaina credit for speaking up, but I did notice the error very shortly after you left. Correcting you was not high on my list of priorities. The pulp mill would look beautiful at night even if it were the Fraser in between...
Now we know
And knowing's half the battle.
