Not sure how it started but I used to have a slightly more frequent tradition of clearing out the various tidbits I'd been sent by e-mail, found on the web and some of the other random thoughts banging around my head in one big post, tied for some unknown reason, to a holiday, well-known or […]
At work, I was asked to do some advocacy work on behalf of the Saskatchewan Library Trustees’ Association in advance of the upcoming provincial election which happens on November 7.(Okay, I didn’t get to have any actual input myself – I was mainly doing the grunt work of setting up a mailing list and coordinating […]
There's a provincial election coming up in Saskatchewan in about ten days (November 7) so Shea and I took the opportunity to go to the candidate's debate at her old high school tonight – even though we're planning to vote in our home riding in Regina. I'm too tired to analyze what we heard too […]

The game ended […]
I did a post like this during the coldest part of the winter so I'll do another one during the hottest day (so far) of the summer… We set a record today in Weyburn – I just did this screen cap below now but the highest point reached today was 42 degrees. (Does anywhere else […]
I've had four speeding tickets in my life… #1 – I was driving home late at a night from a summer job during college after a week working in northern Saskatchewan. Anxious to get home, I was going pretty fast when an RCMP officer passed me just outside a town on the other site of […]
