Winter?

It floors me every year when people are surprisedd at the first snow. Especially when it is the last week of October! I mean c'mon people, is this the first time you've lived in Saskatchewan? Or are you selectively amnesiac? I think that what happens is at the first sign of spring, we shed our coats, mitts, scarfs and bound into the warmth forgetting winter ever happened. Then, it's like the morning after a night of binge drinking and bad choices when winter comes back. "What happened? Where am I? What is all this white stuff?" Okay, that last part was probably gross, sorry. Anyways I am usually the first one to start dry heaving and bawling at the first snowflake, but this year I have come to terms with it. Especially this snow, because it will likely be gone next week. That always makes me smile.

People also take this opportunity to complain about bad drivers! There are two main issues with drivers after the first freeze up/snow fall. There are those who forget that ice is slippery, and there are those who forget their tires do have some tread (hopefully). Either way, accidents happen. I don't get too worked up about other drivers, I reduce my speed, and pay attention. I hope this is enough! If all else fails, and I end up in the ditch, I just found my red Olympic mittens in my trunk! This makes me very happy :)

Until next time....

Cal-Fit=Unfit?

I was driving down 8th Street and noticed California Fitness is no longer open, it is now a 24 Hour Fitness. So it got me wondering...what happened? Andwhere can I find out. I googled it, nothing. Word on the street has it that CalFit quietly went under recently. I mean quietly, according to one source, she signed up for a 1 year membership one day, and the next the business was gone. She is still on the hook for the membership. WHY would a business take money from someone when lord knows there would be some kind of rumblings that not everything is right in the financial department??? Now there is nothing that can be done for thse people who used to frequent that gym, but some food for thought: according to Wikipedia 24 Hour Fitness was the parent company to California Fitness. Makes me glad I have a leisure pass.

Oops!

Hi there! Sorry about the lapse! With Thanksgiving, and fall TV, I just ran out of time! A few updates around Saskatoon, apparently the road work on Boychuk will continue FOREVER. Crews aren't optimistic about getting the job done by the time the snow flies. Great.

Speaking of optimism...holy wow was the mine rescue in Chile ever amazing! Seriously, it was truly a miracle. I am glad to see the men safe and sound and back enjoying the company of their family.

And finally for today, a missing person alert. Rob Vicente is missing from the Davidson area. He was last seen driving a back Colbalt, but I have word that the car has been found burned up in a garage west of Davidson. He is you, dark hair, dark eyes, about 200 lbs. So if you know Rob or have heard anything, please contact the police. His family is worried sick about him.
