This is from Medicine Hat, Alberta, not Indian Head, Saskatchewan. But it’s absolutely insane that a litre of gas now costs *less* than when I started working at a gas station in 1989 when gas was 45.9 cents per litre (49.9 for Supreme!) – a number imprinted on my brain the same way I still […]
Thursday March 12, 2020… Wednesday March 18, 2020… (Apparently we can now wipe with Alphabits!?!) 😉
Coronavirus I was in a meeting tonight and in the course of about an hour, my phone buzzed to tell me that: 1) Trump was going to start heavily restricting travel from Europe to US; 2) the NBA was cancelling their season; and 3) Tom Hanks and his wife have the disease. It’s a wild, […]
TeleMiracle is one of the most successful fundraisers per capita in the world and the latest edition is coming up this weekend. Through the entire Telethon, they have a constant crawl of donors but it’s very rare to see your name on it since the volume of donors is so high. But a few years […]

Went to a meeting of my local constituency association tonight and was very impressed, not just with the big turnout on a frigid night but some of the numbers I’m hearing about fundraising and volunteers. Not sure if I’ll ever have as much fun as I did being part of the Ryan Meili leadership campaign […]
A big cold snap in Saskatchewan has got me thinking about Mexico and all our previous trips… Here’s a montage someone made of Cancun and Isla Mujeres… “Shlow Motion” – Oomiee
My daughter doesn’t realise that when her dad was growing up, before the Internet and the 500-channel universe, TV bingo and polka parties were literally the only forms of entertainment available (no wonder I became such a big reader!) 😉 We re-created a small-town Saskatchewan Saturday night at our house tonight: Playing (fake) TV Bingo… […]
As an atheist, I always chuckle at athletes who inject their religion into the game or somehow seem to believe that god is helping them win or have success or whatever. I have no idea how much the Riders’ new quarterback, Cody Fajardo, thinks god’s helping him have success but given his “sprinkle of Jesus” […]
