Saskatchewan Round-UpSask Government Insurance, a crown corporation that provides insurance to all drivers in our province, is offering $180 rebates to safe drivers on their automobile insurance and lowering rates by an average of 5% as well (when we already have the lowest auto insurance rates in Canada – why do you think I love […]

Randomness (Happy New Year!)
Early in this blog's history, I came up with a little gimmick where I cover a bunch of miscellaneous things I've come across or want to talk about in conjunction with a holiday (search for “randomness” to see previous entries). I don't think I've done a “random” entry like this in awhile but the New […]
The Problem With An "I'll Post Everyday" Policy Is…
…sometimes you have absolutely nothing to say. (I've got a fun one lined up for tomorrow though – promise!) For some reason, this emptiness of ideas inspired me to check my stats. As I suspected, my number of “unique visitors” are down by about 2/3 from an all-time high right around that “50 Ways To […]
Blog Roundup
So it's 3:45am on December 28 and I'm back in my own bed after a few days of riding the sleigh around SE Saskatchewan (well, to Shea's parents in Weyburn, my parents in Indian Head then back to Regina today.) Right now, I'm surfing around to catch-up on my regular blogs and here's some of […]
Randomness
We Made It!Well, we made it. Our last couple days in London were pretty hectic with packing and last minute stuff but, like anything, it got done. Dumpster Diving ReduxAt the start of the year, I couldn't believe how many people threw out perfectly good stuff but by the time we left, I understood why. […]
I'M DONE!!!
A final circle closes – my last chat for Advocacy class tonight was with former Saskatchewan Provincial Librarian (and current Director of the Coquitlam Public Library), Maureen Woods. Great teleconference which finished with a very revealing “round table” as everybody talked about what they'd taken from the class. And that's it. No more assignments. No […]
How To Make A Rye & Coke Press
I love looking at my referrer logs to see the search terms that bring people to this blog. Since December 1, that has been phrases such as:“Is+April+the+highest+suicide+month?”“How Long Until I Get My Acceptance Letter from UWO?”“FIMS Porn” Yep, that last one is for real. Somebody out there is looking for “FIMS porn”. The most important […]
I'm Losing Bibliographic Control Here!
With apologies to Mike T. for stealing his t-shirt slogan for a mostly inaccurate blog post title, I just wanted to post a note that I have around 250 unattended messages in my in-box right now and will get to them, hopefully by the end of this week. I don't think there's anything life and […]
Furniture For Sale
Hey everybody,Shea and I are moving home in December so I've put an ad up on the UWO housing registry advertising that we're willing to sell any or all of our furniture and other household items, starting in mid-December. (Or if anybody stumbles across this blog who is coming to UWO in January, we're willing […]
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
I told my in-laws about this blog and now I know that my mother-in-law is reading on a regular basis. So I thought I'd do an entry dedicated to her and my father-in-law. They're part-owners of a herd of buffalo in Saskatchewan so I thought this riddle is fitting. The sentence listed in the title […]
