Skip Gets Polka-Dotted at Spotted Lake

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSkip Waverly is at Spotted Lake in British Columbia, Canada. Skip.

2. 

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentHank, in summer this lake dries into hundreds of coloured polka dots, and I am the first anchor-level talent to see them.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYou are the only talent here. What are the dots?

4. 

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentPer Wikipedia, much of the water evaporates and leaves separate mineral pools in different colours. My left shoe is one of them now.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYour shoe is in the lake.

6. 

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentNext to it. The lake is full of minerals, including magnesium sulfate, and I can taste every one on my face.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMagnesium sulfate. Like bath salts.

8. 

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentVery bath salts. My phone is covered in them and now only shows the time, which is wrong.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGo on.

10. 

    Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThe lake is sacred to the Syilx Okanagan Nation, so visitors view it from the roadside.

11. 

    Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentI have been looking at it over a fence for hours.

12. 

    Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentWish you were here, Hank. This is a desk-sized story, and I would like to discuss that chair.

13. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you, Skip. The chair now belongs to a fern, and it is doing very well.
