It’s obviously *very* different for myself as a middle-class white kid who grew up in a small town on the Canadian prairies compared to what’s happening to black people of all ages over and over again in cities across the US. But I had one particular experience in high school that showed me how easy […]
Shea and I had been tossing around the idea of upgrading to a bigger camper for a couple years but Covid sort of forced our hand this year.

It’s hard to believe (er, pun intended) this video doesn’t have more than a few hundred views considering the insight this guy provides into Biblical history, the impact of the “cornea” virus, and the fact at Covid is nothing and the real fun will begin when the prophecies of Revelations begin to come true! (I’m […]
One of the first things allowed in Saskatchewan’s reopening plan is camping. We requested and got approved to move to a new site in the regional park where we have our seasonal site so have spent a couple weekends moving various sheds, storage bins, fridges and other supplies to our new site. Looking forward to […]
