If I meet Miss Sask, I will be Mr. Mindful Manitoba.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of weather, it's supposed to get cold here and actually snow. Thrilling.<BR/><BR/>I was very brave, yes, to have taken that bus ride. As for the vid, as I said, it was purely accidental but I thought well worth viewing.<BR/><BR/>Anna:<BR/><BR/>No, I live in a fine suburban area of Winnipeg, remember. There was a guy at the bus stop who wouldn't stop talking about a doc's appointment he had to go to and how they always pick him up for it, but couldn't.<BR/><BR/>I also didn't blog about the guy in the bus who obviously has a few issues who kept wanting to bite his nails and kept staring at his thumb.<BR/><BR/>Of course in Winnipeg, we don't have a subway.<BR/><BR/>It was about an eight-hour drive to get here and was fine.<BR/><BR/>MJ:<BR/><BR/>Well, that's true! I remember that too. At least you could have given me cab fare!<BR/><BR/>Toasty:<BR/><BR/>So you survived your operation, obviously! Welcome back. I'll check out your blog when I can.<BR/><BR/>I don't think it's a sign of anything, me leaving just as you return. :-)<BR/><BR/>Stace:<BR/><BR/>Well, we North Americans try not to use public transit if we can help it. Remember we (well, mostly the U.S.) is responsible for most of the planet's pollution.<BR/><BR/>We all own SUVs, eight other cars or trucks and big humongous boats and stuff.<BR/><BR/>Who were "the guys" watching you scoot off to work?<BR/><BR/>Donn:<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I'll definitely go GREEN, which just so happens to be Saskatchewan's dominant colour.<BR/><BR/>I feel compelled to point out that, in the larger scheme of things, Manitoba has become a more needy have-not province than Saskatchewan is.<BR/><BR/>My impression of Sask was the same as yours -- it was a place simply to pass through to get somewhere else -- but it no longer is.<BR/><BR/>You can't change geography, but in my last couple of visits, I find the roads are better here and the towns are more spruced up than Manitoba's.<BR/><BR/>Sask has more money now than Manitoba does. You should try comin' through here some time.<BR/><BR/>Given that I do have at least one regular Sask reader, I felt it necessary to make these points.<BR/><BR/>And that reader is not Miss Saskatchewan!<BR/><BR/>As for the length of this post, doofus, it's two posts in one!

Now I have my scooter back, I've started riding her to work. Yay! Yesterday as I left work, the guys watched me out the window as I scooted off... freaked me out slightly! Enjoy your trip, hopefully the company car doesn't break down or smell like the previous driver's BO.Stacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293741467822618216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28180198.post-57561253618312783832008-04-17T16:07:00.000-05:002008-04-17T16:07:00.000-05:00Have a safe trip.......
