This Summer I had the pleasure of using bike sharing in Ottawa. Had I know how easy it was, I’d have used it in Toronto too, and possibly Montreal while I was there. One thing I’m unclear about is if the Bixi Bikes in different cities are compatible, and billed as if they are one […]
Tag: Regina
And so it goes: Yahoos on the prairies.
I suppose some folks think that the regina mom is a yahoo cuz she’s shooting off her mouth all the time. Really, she hasn’t had a lot of time for that cuz she has spent the past year and a bit marketing her book of poetry, This hot place from B.C. to Ontario. (And she […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Wedding and Honeymoon
The weather was perfect on July 2nd, just like I told people it would be. It was less perfect today, but still awesome. The hail stones that were half the size of golf balls were problematic, at least one hitting my car in an apparently non-damaging way. Now April and I head off into our […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Party Hardly
I hardly did any partying this weekend, fewer than 10 hours were devoted to such an activity.
-We actually get along quite well, this is staged for the camera. Really!
– I’m more 3 dimensional than Richard here
– Later that night, I probably …

The War on Bugs has not yet been won either. The War on Drugs left a trail of destruction through the property of innocent people I know, today. The RPS caused needless damage in executing a search warrant in American-style imprecision, smashing doors, and terrified innocent bystanders by pointing guns at them, all to go […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Battlefield Earth
Vancouver is Canada’s latest battlefield. I don’t think Regina’s population would easily riot, not even over the Riders. We’ve come to accept losing the Grey Cup pretty well, and when we won, the party didn’t get out of hand. Sure, the Regina Riot is famous, but that was a bunch of out-of-towners pent up and […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Thinking About Sustainable Cities
– Your lawn can’t legally look like this? People are understandably mystified by some of the things I do, they have different outlooks on life. When they see a TV in the garbage they think, “Someone upgraded to a Plasma,” while I think, “There’s a few more pounds of lead to leach into drinking water.” […]
Accidental Deliberations: Monday Morning Links
Miscellaneous material to start your week.- Rhys Kesselman rightly points out how the populist message that propelled the Cons to power has given way to elitist policy-making:Once the federal budget is balanced, the Conservatives plan to double the TFS…

Live blog from Education Auditorium Starting with a prayer song from a Cree elder, singer and pipe keeper and cleaner. Drum and singing is very impressive in here. The introduction is okay, but a tad long. Now Peta White is giving welcomes and thank-yous. There’s a UPS with a dead battery peeping away in the […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Mosaic 2011 in Regina
I only attended some of Mosaic in 2011, which let me keep my spending on it to under $50 this year. I made it to the Korean and Brazilian pavilions which were new this year, and the French one returned too. I enjoyed the Brazilian a lot, although the sound system was too loud in […]
