Head Tale - Saskatchewan

Category Archives: Saskatchewan

Music Monday – “I want a new drug, one that won’t make me sick/One that won’t make me crash my car/Or make me feel three-feet thick/I want a new drug, one that won’t hurt my head/One that won’t make my mouth too dry/Or make my eyes too red”

Every single thing I felt in the days after being vaccinated are things I might feel on a typical day – slight headache, minor fatigue, achy muscles, etc. – so overall, think I faired quite well! 😉 “I Want A New Drug” – Huey Lewis

Saturday Snap – Obligatory “I Got Vaccinated” Pic

Good timing too as they just announced that Regina’s drive-thru vaccination clinic will be shut down for a couple weeks due to vaccine shortages.

Always liked this photo of a railway crossing near Creelman, SK for some reason…

Music Monday – “Do you call it as you see it and you’ve always been that way?/Are you reminiscent of how things were back in the day?/Are you agitated with the young’uns always wanting change?/Well here’s your invite to a group of folks like you and me”

“Support Local” takes many forms. With the lack of live music, why not support a local musician or band by buying their songs (especially a timely one like this one which also has a great video!) “Pity Party – Blake Berglund

Exponential Growth: A Commonsense Explanation

When something is going through exponential growth, even in the early stages, most people completely underestimate how quickly things are going to change, even when the exponential growth has been going on for quite a while. Some humans are really bad at understanding math.

Saturday Snap – First Shorts of the Year?

For some reason, I’ve made a point to note the first day of snow every year pretty much since I started this blog. But with beautiful +14 weather on the last day of winter, I wonder if I missed an opportunity to also record the first day I wore shorts outside each spring?

Covid-19: A Year in Review

But remembering the past is also a way of believing that this moment will someday be the past. Which is to say, nostalgia for the past is also a way of believing in the future. Daydreaming about the After Times — the Before Times’s mythic counterpart — is in part an exercise in imagining what it will […]

Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Six – Friday Fun Link – How Different Would E.T. Be In The 21st Century? #ftrw

Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Two – Music Monday – “Mama said, she’s my brothers daughter/And I don’t even know who’s my father/I guess she’s my cousin/But she needs some sweet lovin’ anyway” – #ftrw

I posted this song in June 2019 with only a brief reference to the controversy around the song’s contents which evoke incest and rape. But I thought it might be worth revisiting for FTRW, especially in light of the news that came out in August 2020 that the band’s bassist had subsequently been accused of […]
