h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I lived in Saskatchewan for a few years. We lived in North Portal, not as opposed to South Portal. As opposed to Portal, N.D. We had the longest golf hole in the world. It takes half an hour for a ball struck on the 9th tee to reach the green, which is on the American side, and half an hour later. I worked at Bienfait Coal (pronounced Been-Fate, go figure!), went through Roche Percee (Rosh-Percy) on the way to Estevan for groceries. Estevan's the only place I've ever seen anyone over 10 years old wearing socks with sandles! Estevan's the clean coal capital of Canada. It also has a horkin' big dragline, at least the biggest one I've ever seen - the Estevan Eagle.

If you live in the city, you can appreciate that huge sky and those spectacular sunsets, only available in rural Saskatchewan.

I'd go back tomorrow - it sure beats life in the fast lane in Winnipeg! By a country mile.

I have to agree that the sunsets are amazing.
how's the peg? Have you ever seen (or heard of) fast freddy? My CW teacher wrote a poem about him... 2 akshly. apparently he's some kind of celebrity?

Something to do with performance cars? I'd never heard of him till I looked him up. Things in the 'Peg: in a word, soggy. We've had a wet cold spring/summer. The only really warm day we've had was Canada Day. The water taxi on the Assiniboine and Red Rivers isn't running this year. The owned went on the radio and said he just can't afford to run it because not enough people are using it. Now we're looking forward to the Fringe Festival, starting next week. Its always a good time. Otherwise, Winnipeg's just one more concrete jungle. Stupid city, we're trying to find a way to move out of it!
