Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Protesting at the Saskatchewan Legislature, Then & Now (February 11, 2000) #skpoli #yqr

From my personal journal, February 11, 2000: Settle in to bed (well, a sleeping bag under a cafeteria table) about midnight. Oh, when we get back from grabbing our sleeping bags, I offer to bring a coffee to the security guard and end up having a big talk with him – about how he got […]

Need A Summer Road Trip? Check Out #Sask Roadside Attractions!

Carnival Scam Science

Saturday Snap – Customized Rider Jersey

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Rider Game at Taylor Field (July 2012)

Thinking of our tour of the new Mosaic Stadium yesterday, here’s a pic from a game we went to a few years ago in the old Taylor Field (not sure how we got such great seats – think we bought them last minute off Kijiji?)

We weren’t allowed into the Riders’ locker room (only the Visitors’ locker room) but we did get to take a family photo in front of the […]
