Throwback Thursday – #tbt – One Year Ago, I Had Shingles (June 2022)
…replaced on my roof about a year after a major hailstorm ripped through north Regina and punched machine-gun holes in most houses’ siding in our neighbourhood. (Our next door neighbours just got their siding done this week!) In a weird way, this was perfect timing as our house had original shingles that were end-of-life so […]
2022 SPL Report To Our Community
Always interesting to look at other library system’s annual reports at what’s similar, what’s different and also to spark ideas and inspiration.
Music Monday – “What would you say/If I took those words away?/Then you couldn’t make things new/Just by saying ‘I love you'”

Biggest Challenge: “We’re a small city with a relatively big stadium.”
Yes. This is quite the challenge we face here in our little prairie city that’s run by people who want to pretend we’re a much bigger city like Calgary or Edmonton or Winnipeg so they push to build giant state-of-the art arenas. And ball stadiums. And the best football stadium in the country while showing […]
Friday Fun Link – The Scientific Case For Two Spaces After A Period
This. Is. Vindication. For Myself. And everyone. Who took. Typing. On a manual typewriter. In grade 10. In 1989. (Even Google agrees!) Google Translate puts two spaces after the end of a sentence by inmildlyinfuriating There might even be a free speech argument for two spaces after a period?!?
