Music Monday – “Well, there’s people and more people/What do they know-know-know/Go to work in some high rise/And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico, ooh yeah”

Hard to believe it’s been two years since we moved into our new house – time flies but a good reminder that time is pretty meaningless in the age of Covid! 😉 “Pink Houses” – John Mellencamp

Denise Batters Kicked Out of CPC Caucus

You love to see it… O’Toole has booted Senator Denise Batters from caucus.Of course, this is unlikely to shut her up. This may only embolden her.

First Snow of the Year (2021 Edition)

Always nice when the snow holds off until mid-November.  Makes winter feel just a bit shorter…

“Indian Head is super nice…it’s not like any other small prairie town I’ve been too”

My hometown gets a couple nice compliments in a Reddit thread about best Saskatchewan towns/cities…

It was being used a bit before Covid but the pandemic definitely made livestreaming a more common option for all sorts of major life events including birthdays, holidays, weddings and especially funerals.

The Years Have Flown By: Happy 50th Anniversary Ray & Janet Hammond!

A couple weeks ago, I took my parents on a charter flight as a unique way to see how the years have flown by as we visited a few significant locations from their life ahead of their 50th wedding anniversary I was originally going to do the flight on their actual anniversary which happens to […]

“I have no shame in pleading to the public” – Sask Chief Public Health Officer Gets Emotional

I don’t think Scott Moe has the emotional maturity and empathy to speak like this… Moe does, however, has the ability to turn Saskatchewan into a dystopian nightmare… Several of my patients were selected for evacuation to Ontario this week. Though clinical teams played no role in choosing who went (all handled higher up), we […]
