In the days around the time @SKGov shut down STC, I was on the phone with Greyhound Canada (PR people in Texas), trying to get an answer for why they weren't stepping into the role. It was apparent the SK Gov't hadn't spoken with Greyhound to get us coach bus

centre of the universe: Road Trip – NaBloPoMo Day 2
I was on the road today. I got out early owing to the fact that the weather people said it *probably* wasn’t going to start sky-shiting until later in the afternoon, which means it could go at any time. I’ve always liked driving. When I was an incorrigible teen, my

While the family was picking out candy in the shop behind me, I was watching the birds, and the people go by. Then the birds started going, on the people. Bye! Magpie 1, Man’s jacket 0.

Murchison Falls Uganda I took this photo way back in 2012. Uganda is one of the most difficult places to travel in (unless you want to spend a lot more than I was willing to spend). But the National Parks and wildlife make it absolutely worthwhile.

“Saskboy doesn’t recommend John F. Kennedy International Airport.” Here’s the summary I left for them on Facebook: They weren’t able to let us deplane for an hour due to a thunderstorm when we arrived. We departed late, in part because there was another plane at our gate for longer than

Saskatchewan used to bustle, but soon it will be busless. It would literally rather provide mobility to tarsands than people. https://leaderpost.com/news/local-news/i-dont-like-the-sound-of-it-one-bit-sask-riders-react-to-end-of-greyhound-in-province/ https://thestarphoenix.com/business/we-simply-cant-leave-people-stranded-by-the-road-alberta-expands-rural-bus-service-pilot-project/ “The announcement came 14 months after the Saskatchewan government shut down the money-losing Saskatchewan Transportation Co.” That’s a bad perspective Star Phoenix. There is no expectation to make

I went to Winnipeg on the weekend. A car rental was less than $70 for 4 days. While there I witnessed a U-Haul van driver gently crash into the car in front of him after I had waved him into the flow of traffic in my lane. I guess if

There’s no place to buy a used Electric Vehicle in Regina, in 2017. This is a problem. It’s one I don’t have the ability to solve, but it affects me because I’m interested in helping people know how to get an electric car if they live in southern Saskatchewan. There
