Saturday Snap – Why Does Our Fence Lean Inward?

When we bought our house a couple years ago, we noticed a slight inward lean to the fence. I didn’t think anything of it but after a couple winters, I realise it’s probably because *all the snow* from the green space behind our house (note the grass showing in patches further out!) likes to blow […]

Five Things I’m Grateful For – 2022 Edition

I’m not much of a New Year’s Resolution guy (“I’m going to lose weight this year!” Pandemic continues. “Shit!”) but always good to take account of the things you’re grateful for at this time of year.

Happy 69th Birthday, Dennis!

Happy birthday to my father-in-law who turns 69 today. Here’s a pic of him and Pace standing in front of a tractor we stumbled upon in an Estevan parking lot that happens to be the exact same model as the first tractor they had on their farm, I think roughly when he was Pace’s age.

Saturday Snap – I Got Vaccinated (Under 11 Edition)

Especially with there still being so much uncertainty around Covid, it’s such a relief to finally have everyone in the family on their way to being fully vaccinated. I know kids are generally at lower risk from Covid but I also know that even though your odds of winning a lottery are one in a […]

Friday Fun Link – Book Vending Machine Encourages Students To Attend, Improve Marks, and Be Kind

I get why “attend” is important for kids who miss school regularly (even before Covid, schools were doing an “attendance matters” campaign) but I’ve always hated this implied pressure to show up to school no matter what without the consideration that a) it’s okay for kids who are sick to stay home and b) even […]

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. It’s also sending a statement as to what kind of dissent he will and will not tolerate, and it’s funny how he’ll tolerate anti-vaxxers but not her. pic.twitter.com/5ptC8NJ3tI — […]
