Customers belly up to the window, craning to read today's special and take in tempting aromas while exchanging looks that hint at a shared thrill of something new.
It's Saturday morning and the Kamloops Farmer's Market is buzzing with the newest offering from the Bellringer Espresso Bus.
This is not your dad's food truck with the quilted aluminum siding that doles out a ham and cheese on Wonder bread, bag of chips and a pop.
Dave Burgess created the eye catching converted school bus and got it on the road last September.
He offers organic coffee and freshly made culinary treats like pulled pork, apples and currants in a gooey cinnamon bread pudding topped with a maple bourbon glaze and crispy bacon bits or cheddar and havarti, caramelized onion, spinach and roasted red pepper on fresh focaccia.
The response has been enthusiastic to say the least.
"Well it's a bus. It makes everyone smile," laughs Burgess.
"I think (mobile food vendors) add just another great dimension," he adds. "It puts things on the street and gives people another reason to connect on the street with food. And the food is usually more or as affordable as a restaurant."
Burgess is an old hand at innovative mobile food vending — back in 1993 he converted an antique fire truck into one. That business didn't pan out because the technology was too cumbersome, he said.
"I was a bit ahead of the curve back then."
Today's propane innovations have eased the way for such operations. Maybe that's why there's been a boom across North America over the past few years.
Vancouver loosened its street food regulations nearly five years ago and the results have put the city on the foodie map. Its downtown is now dotted with a seemingly endless variety of meals from Japanese style hot dogs to gourmet perogies to exclusively wild fare.
Kelowna got on board a few years ago when it put out a request for proposals to service the downtown and its parks.
Kamloops may be on the cusp as well, but first the City has to review bylaws deemed archaic by street vendors.
Whereas pushcart vendors are allowed in 10 zones, the City allows food trucks to park in only four zones with permission from property owners: C-3 (arterial commercial), C-4 (service commercial), C-5 (shopping centres) and C-3T (truck travel centres).
And if that zoning lingo means little to you, you're not the only one.
Don Garrish, Kamloops business licence inspector, said staff takes great care to ensure licensees know the rules.
But there's still a lot of confusion out there.
Heffley Creek's Miles Carrier owns and operates Samidges, a food truck with such traditional items as hot dogs, frozen yogurt and hot beef sandwiches.
With permission from the business owner, he operated once a week on the highly visible Penny Pinchers parking lot at Tranquille Road and Eighth Avenue in North Kamloops.
Chris Speer, a Kamloops truck driver who found Samidges in the ideal place at the ideal time for a quick bite last week, said he'd like to see more food trucks in the city.
"The people deserve it. This is a summer thing. People are outdoors. Bring it to them," he said.
Little did Carrier know that Speer would be among his last customers in Kamloops. He was breaking the law, and he only found that out later that day when a bylaw officer warned him off the site.
"There's no clarity," said Carrier. "I was at this location a few times last year and this year and had no problems."
Carrier is now scheduled to meet with City staff and said he's considering legal action. Meanwhile, he plans to stay out of Kamloops entirely and stick to music festivals.
"It's disappointing. Hopefully things change," he said. "I think Kamloops needs to have a vending (policy) that works."
Cathy Obertowich said the process of finding an appropriate location is "extremely complicated."
"You need a degree in business licencing, I tell you," she said. "It takes a lot of time to figure out the loopholes."
On March 28, Obertowich and her partner Joe Thompson put the Pig Rig on the road — an eye-catching, airbrushed cube truck that sells southern style barbecue, smoked meat and chocolate covered bacon.
They're busier than they ever believed they would be.
Hundreds of locals follow them on Facebook and Twitter, getting daily alerts on their current location. Businesses are even asking them to park on their sites because of the Pig Rig's popularity.
"This isn't a fad. Food trucks are here to stay," said Thompson.
They say City staff have been very helpful and they've had no problems sticking to the rules. But they're also pushing for changes to the zoning restrictions.
City bylaws, they say, don't reflect the obvious desire among the public.
The problem is that not everybody loves a food truck, no matter how adorable the paint job or creative the menu.
Restaurant owners say they already have a glut of competition to contend with and they fear that vendors will park right outside the door.
"If one was to pull up in your parking lot, you'd be pissed," said Vicky Dempsey, whose sister bought The Grind restaurant on Victoria Street two and a half years ago. "It's hard enough."
She added that food trucks have an advantage because of low overhead costs compared to traditional restaurants' high tax or lease rates.
However truck vendors say they have their own challenges too.
Obertowich said restaurants operate 12 months a year.
"Joe and I, if it's a rainy day our numbers go down," she said.
And most cities with broader policies impose lease fees that rival bricks and mortar sites.
For example the City of Kelowna charges up to $15,000 per season to lease its most desirable downtown and waterfront spaces to food truck vendors.
Burgess added that he has a lot of money invested in his bus and he's spent decades in the industry.
"I've paid my dues," he said.
Burgess and his wife have submitted a policy proposal to the City that involved research from Portland to Winnipeg. (He declined to share his findings with the Daily News.)
The City of Kamloops says they're working on it.
City staff is compiling research and will reach out to stakeholders soon before sending the matter to City council, said Randy Lambright, Kamloops planning and development manager.
If bylaws need tweaking, he said, that could occur at the beginning of the 2014 food truck season.
"There's some positives obviously because it creates more energy, it creates more business," said Lambright.
He was also keenly aware of the restaurant owners' concerns.
"It's competition and they've spent a lot of money and taxes on having the bricks and mortar and then somebody comes along and just plops a vehicle down and is able to at somewhat minimal overhead be able to compete."
Obertowich said it's up to the City to make sure policies reflect the emerging industry and protect everyone involved.
"If the City does due diligence like the other communities," said Obertowich, "it shouldn't be an issue."

The 20 Best Free PC Games

Hey, times are tough. Games are expensive. What are you going to do, stop playing them? Hah! You can give your credit card a break and still stay up until 2am yelling at your computer monitor if you just know where to find all the best free PC games. Of course, the Web is a front of free entertainment. There are more lame flash games out there than you could possibly catalogue, and even a few really great ones. A Google search for "free games" will take you to any number of portals where you can play ad-supported flash games, or even awesome paid flash games like Robokill.
We're here to help you separate the wheat from the chaff. What follows are some of the best free PC games you can get online. Our rules are simple:
- It must be an honestly free game. There are great free PC games that have paid "premium" options and those are fine, but we're going to steer clear from demos, or games that really can't be fully enjoyed without ponying up money.
- No utterly simple flash games. There's nothing wrong with those—we have wasted countless hours with Desktop Tower Defense and Nanaca Crash—but the Web is chock full of lists and portals to these games. Some of our games use flash, sure, but they're a little more upscale than your typical Kongregate offering.
- It has to run on modern Windows systems. There's a ton of "abandonware" out there that won't run on anything other than DOS or maybe Windows 3.1, and requires jumping through some major hoops to get it working. We want to keep it relatively simple.
Even following those rules, there's a lot of free gaming goodness out there…too much to cover. What use is a list of hundreds of games? Where do you start? These 20 games are among the cream of the crop, and every single one is worth downloading and giving some time to. You never know, you might just find your next big gaming addiction here, and not pay a dime for it! Continued…

Sunday Best
I'm a longtime Broncos fan, an an occasional commenter here on MHR. This is a really vibrant fan community and an obvious place to share this link. I'm also an art director/designer. I created Sunday Best as a place to showcase fun and irreverent football-related shirt and product designs for sale. Since I'm a Broncos fan, I started with a few Tebow designs to get the ball rolling. I'm busy creating more right now. My hope is to make enough to donate a healthy portion (pretty much all) of the proceeds to charity. Zazzle makes most of the money on each of the products, but I'd like to put my royalties to good use. Check them out — there will be new product types like sweatshirts and hoodies coming soon. Go Broncos!

FLORENCE, Ariz. -- Authorities in Pinal County said a man suspected of driving a car carrying 220 pounds of marijuana had been deported to Mexico 11 times.
According to the Sheriff's Office, Daniel Jupa-Fino, 21, was arrested Tuesday after he ran from the car after a deputy made a traffic stop on Interstate 8.
The Sheriff's Office said it later learned from federal authorities that Jupa-Fino had been deported 11 times in the last three years for illegal entry into the United States.
He's jailed in Florence on charges of possession and transportation of marijuana.
A second man who was a passenger in the car also was arrested. He also faces marijuana charges.

Other species adapted to a particular range of flowers that were in season
just when they chose to become active, while some became carnivorous,
and so, within the Hymenoptera order, the bees, ants and wasps diverged and adapted, each to their own ecological niche.
estimates that 40% of rivers and streams are unfishable and unswimmable and 50% of lakes and
ponds are unfishable and unswimmable. I am working on the closed cycle gardening and will
plant our vegetable garden in the area that has been alfalfa and mulch with the alfalfa but since

WI cricket team needs good coaches
Dear Editor,
Congratulations are in order for the West Indies cricket team for comprehensively beating the New Zealanders 2-nil in the recent Test Series.
In spite of the West Indies winning the series - Test and ODI - against New Zealand, there are still many problems affecting West Indies Cricket.
In the Test arena our batsmen, especially the young ones, have not developed the art of batting for long hours. The batsmen must learn to concentrate on playing only balls on merit; balls far outside the off stump must be left alone.
Test cricket is played over five days and if West Indies players insist on playing at every ball that is bowled at them, they will get out quickly and lose the match within three or four days.
Young players like K Powell and A Fudadin are not yet ready for Test cricket. They must be sent back to play four-day regional cricket to learn how to bat for long hours and build an innings, under good supervision.
The team currently has no match-winning strike bowler to call upon when the situation arises. Roach is trying his best, but he bowls too many no-balls. He needs long hours of on-the-field bowling in the nets, under proper coaching supervision, in order to get him out of this bad practice. In the last Test match, he was no-balled at least seven times. This certainly is unacceptable.
In the spin bowling department, young Narine is a very good prospect for the future and should be handled very carefully. However, it is evident that he is falling into the bad habit of overstepping. Nothing is worse than seeing a spin bowler being no-balled by the umpire for overstepping.
Cricket is a practical game played on the cricket field and not in the classroom. Coach Otis Gibson, if he is worth the salary that he is being paid, must take these guys out on the cricket pitch or in the nets and work with them for hours daily, until they stop overstepping the bowling crease.
I watch a lot of international cricket and I hardly see bowlers being no-balled for overstepping the bowling crease. Overstepping is virtually a thing of the past among other international teams. I can't remember seeing any of the New Zealand bowlers being no-balled for overstepping in the recent Sabina Test.
Coach Gibson needs to deal with this as a priority in order to eradicate it from West Indies cricket.
The coach must also see to it that the guys play long innings. That's the only way they are going to be able to beat teams like England, South Africa, India and Australia in Test cricket. If they don't, they will remain at the bottom of the ladder, struggling to survive.
I am convinced that we have the necessary talents in the region. Proper coaching will do a great deal in turning these talents into world beaters.
Roy Wilson

Adrian Gonzalez steps up with nine homers, needing to hit just one to officially eliminate David Ortiz from final round contention. Gonzalez proceeds to make four consecutive outs before finally dashing Ortiz's hopes for a repeat. Given that Ortiz was thus beaten by a teammate of his, this is some pretty good sportsmanship:
Unless that Gatorade is poisoned. Gonzalez is on fire now, by the way, with nine home runs on his last ten swings. I guess that Gatorade was not poisoned. Somehow Chris Berman has resisted the temptation to call him en fuego although it's possible that he did say it and I was just typing too loudly. I find this unlikely, because I think it's impossible to type louder than Chris Berman's voice.
Gonzalez is hitting them out everywhere. Right field. Left field. Center field, which is not easy in Arizona. He nearly just murdered a cameraman, which I would have .giffed for you guys in short order, but alas.
Gonzalez's round ends with 11 dingers, tying him with Cano at 20 combined. Prince Fielder will now need to hit at least 15 home runs in order to stay alive. He'll probably want to stay away from Matt Holliday. And Matt Kemp and Rickie Weeks, too. Boy did Fielder choose a terrible group of guys. They all suck! They all suck at this!
