A timely (ha!) article about Daylight Savings Time. Saskatchewan doesn’t have it although it’s a constant topic of discussion on coffee row and elsewhere across the province. Premier Wall even promised to take it to the voters in our most recent election so we could choose. But he apparently realized it wasn’t politically savvy to […]
Due to a couple large corporate donations and a $1.4 million bequest from a retired farmer, last weekend’s Telemiracle was the most successful of all-time. (Minor claim to fame – I was the guy who added the annual totals section to the Wikipedia entry – yay me!) One of the highlights of watching this show […]
I spent part of today chipping out the last of the ice on our driveway. In mid-February. In Saskatchewan. Last winter was one of the most brutal I can remember – usually we get 1-2 really cold snaps through the whole winter (which usually lasts from October to oh, let’s say April). But last year, […]
While each of the candidates can point to some Saskatchewan backers, the most visibly involved segment of Saskatchewan’s NDP membership has been a group providing support for Niki Ashton – who thusfar has fallen short of the field in terms of overall support. But if (as seems likely) Ashton drops off the ballot with a […]
This is one from the archives but still pretty funny. What on earth was happening at the Weyburn pool to require this sign to be posted???
It’s funny ’cause it’s true!
Pace and I made what will likely be our last visit to the park by our house before we leave for Hawaii next week. Then, when we got home, we found Shea cooking a tropical feast of shrimp and fish. So I poured us all OJ’s and 7-up (and coconut rum for the adults) and […]
I was going to do a “one month since the provincial election” post but couldn’t find a giant “What The Fuck Was That?” graphic (which is pretty much all I could think to say about that beatdown, even a month later anyhow!) So instead, here’s a recent post from TechCrunch about the growing importance of […]
Agribition is one of the biggest agricultural fairs in the world and therefore, a big part of Saskatchewan life and economy. Pace’s cousin’s uncles and grandpa were showing cattle at the show so Shea took Pace down to take in the sights (and smells!) Luckily, Pace didn’t scratch his nose and buy a bison like […]
Okay, I know climate change and global warming are evil and wrong and terrible. In fact, I’ve just started reading Chris Turner’s “The Leap” and it might be another strong contender for the best book I’ve read this year based on the first few chapters. (translation: “go read this book now!”) But when you live […]
