I may do a few entries about our summer but, for now, just sad that another great summer of camping is coming to a close…

Back From Camping (and Five “Redneck” Moments)
Eternal optimist that I am, I keep saying that Covid has had some unintended benefits. One of those is because we couldn’t do a winter trip this year, it also meant we had more holidays to take in the summer – two weeks in July but also two weeks in August which we don’t usually […]
New Southeast Regional Library (@srlhq) “Little Library” at Nickle Lake Regional Park
Can’t wait to check out (er, pun intended?) this little library out this weekend (and on a related note, I was hanging out with the new Weyburn Library Branch Head last weekend too. Yep, I’m that cool!) 🙂 The “Beaver Den” is the park’s arts & craft shack but I’m still bitter that my entry […]
Weyburn, Sask Driving Tour
Not sure if I’d call it “best city to live” as this video claims but it’s where I spend most of my summer (well, at a nearby lake with occasional trips into town for groceries, booze and camping supplies) but it’s where my parents got married, my wife graduated high school, and my in-laws currently […]
Music Monday – “He’s brown as a berry from ridin’ the prairie/And he sings with an ol’ western drawl/Ooh-ooh-ooh-doo-di-di/Singing his cattle call”
“Cattle Call” – Eddy Arnold RIP Lloyd Thompson (1942-2021)
Gone Camping
We’re off camping for a couple weeks so blog posts will likely be rare to non-existent during that time.
Happy Fourth of July! (And Where Would Sask Rate in Fully Vaccinated Rate If We Were A US State?)
On July 4th when President Biden had set (and missed) a goal of 70% of Americans receiving at least their first vaccine, this list of where states are at in terms of full vaccinations is interesting (and probably not surprising) . In case, the link dies, the top 3 are: Vermont (66%) Massachusetts (62%) Maine […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Canada Day In Happier Times (July 2008)
Three years ago, I was placing second in our campground’s annual “Canada Day Decorating” contest. This year? Don’t really feel like decorating too much (though I did have a few ideas to subvert the contest but couldn’t find 751 orange helium balloons in time!) 🙁 At the risk of sounding like somebody on /r/entlightenedcentrism, I’m […]
Secular Sunday – Shining A Light
Powerful image of 751 solar lights during a vigil to recognize the children found in unmarked graves at Cowessess First Nation…
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Sask Book Awards/Alberta Book Awards (multiple years from 1997 to present)
Tonight was the 2021 Saskatchewan Book Awards and I also recently found the 2021 Alberta Book Awards on social media. I spent nearly a decade in the literary non-profit sector and both served on the board of the SBA for a few years (as well as a frequent volunteer doing everything from taking tickets to […]
