Here’s a shot of the elementary school I attended growing up. I took this picture when we were back to Indian Head for a visit a few years ago but the look of the building including that 1980’s colour scheme hasn’t changed. (The playground however has changed quite a bit.) We went past my elementary […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Great Picture of My Mom (Oct 2007)
This is one of my all-time favourite pics of my mom (and a cropped version remains as her Facebook profile picture since I first helped her set-up an account on that site!) The photo was taken during a Long Term Service Awards dessert banquet for Regina-Qu’Appelle Health Region Employees. Although I wish I could take […]
50 Years of #yqr Copper Kettle Restaurant
The Copper Kettle is a local institution and I’m proud that one of the times I called over to order pizza for a meeting at the library, I ended up having Mr. Gardikiotis take my order personally. When he heard I was with the library, he replied “Oh, the library! I love the library! You did […]
Five Highlights From Two Weeks of Camping
Back from nearly two weeks’ straight of camping… We spent a week up at Good Spirit Provincial Park near Yorkton, had a few days back in Regina to re-stock over the August long weekend (very strange to be driving in to Regina as an endless stream of campers were heading out!) We then went down […]

Google Maps Street View Player – Pike Lake to Outlook
Inspired by the first portion of our route home today – from Pike Lake Provincial Park half an hour south of Saskatoon where we spent the weekend camping on to the Outlook Regional Park where we stopped for lunch – I found a web site that allows you to “drive” between two locations using Google Street View images. […]
How Do You Make Amends For Trying To Erase A Culture
I met Tasha through friends while in University but never knew her story until now. Worth a read…
Saturday Snap – Privatized Liquor Stores In Action #yqr
As a general rule, I tend to prefer public ownership of essential services – utilities including power, natural gas and telephones; grain marketing (especially as opposed to ownership by Middle Eastern corporations) and, of course, liquor. 😉 Under the Brad Wall government, Saskatchewan has opened a couple private liquor stores recently including one in a former steak house […]
