All I know is that this poor province hadn&#8217;t had more than two nice days in a row all summer, until I showed up just after Labour Day. Since then, it&#8217;s been nice here.<BR> &nbsp;<BR> That&#8217;s worked out well for me, since the cottage I&#8217;m staying at is not a year-round place. Calling it a three-season home might be stretching it a bit, although the fireplace does work, and I&#8217;ve been using it in the evenings and mornings. <BR> &nbsp;<BR> Thankfully, there is a new addition (well, new 20 years ago) and it has some electric heat. Especially in the bathroom. Call me an old fogie, but give me a home with a nice warm bathroom, and I&#8217;m happy. I can put up with a lot, so long as my bum is warm when I&#8217;m doing what comes naturally&#8230;<BR> &nbsp;<BR> It looks like I&#8217;m going to be here in the wild west until Thanksgiving. Then I&#8217;ll be hitting the road on my way back to Hamilton and my patient family. But my time here will have been worth it. I&#8217;ve been able to hang out here at the cottage during a beautiful time of year. But best of all, someone is paying me to work while I&#8217;m here. The commute into Regina is a really nice, 30-minutes. And there&#8217;s almost no traffic&#8230;not at all like home.<BR> &nbsp;<BR> So, I&#8217;ve been having such a good time walking the dog, enjoying the weather and just generally hanging out that I haven&#8217;t kept up these postings. &nbsp;But that&#8217;s OK, I figure. And if any of you want to know more about what&#8217;s going on, just comment on this. I&#8217;ll get your comment the next time I log on and I&#8217;ll be happy to elaborate.<BR> &nbsp;<BR>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like to think that I&#8217;ve brought this wonderful weather with me to Saskatchewan, but who knows?
