New Southeast Regional Library (@srlhq) “Little Library” at Nickle Lake Regional Park

Can’t wait to check out (er, pun intended?) this little library out this weekend (and on a related note, I was hanging out with the new Weyburn Library Branch Head last weekend too. Yep, I’m that cool!) 🙂 The “Beaver Den” is the park’s arts & craft shack but I’m still bitter that my entry […]

Weyburn, Sask Driving Tour

Not sure if I’d call it “best city to live” as this video claims but it’s where I spend most of my summer (well, at a nearby lake with occasional trips into town for groceries, booze and camping supplies) but it’s where my parents got married, my wife graduated high school, and my in-laws currently […]

Music Monday – “He’s brown as a berry from ridin’ the prairie/And he sings with an ol’ western drawl/Ooh-ooh-ooh-doo-di-di/Singing his cattle call”

“Cattle Call” – Eddy Arnold RIP Lloyd Thompson (1942-2021)

Gone Camping

We’re off camping for a couple weeks so blog posts will likely be rare to non-existent during that time.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – RPL Photo Shoot (June 2011)

Feel like I might’ve posted a pic from this photo shoot before but still love it (and believe it or not, I still have that shirt though it’s migrated from “suitable for a casual photo shoot” to “wear it camping while sitting around the fire, may have a few burn holes”!)

Glad I’m Not That Guy! ;-)

Always sad to hear libraries that are facing great challenges. 🙁

Music Monday – “Walking through town is quite scary/It’s not very sensible either/A friend of a friend he got beaten/He looked the wrong way at a policeman”

This song has been going through my head all day for some reason. (In completely unrelated news, Go Habs Go!) “I Predict A Riot” – Kaiser Chiefs

Happy Fourth of July! (And Where Would Sask Rate in Fully Vaccinated Rate If We Were A US State?)

On July 4th when President Biden had set (and missed) a goal of 70% of Americans receiving at least their first vaccine, this list of where states are at in terms of full vaccinations is interesting (and probably not surprising) . In case, the link dies, the top 3 are: Vermont (66%) Massachusetts (62%) Maine […]
