You should see what happens when I get stuck in a drive-through.
Another here and here.
Posted by Kate at June 28, 2008 1:38 AMPolar bears are in good supply and will adapt. Enjoy that drive-through.
Posted by: peterj at June 28, 2008 3:06 AMI am very jealous of your cheap gas!
Nice pics Kate.
Posted by: AtlanticJim at June 28, 2008 6:02 AMVery nice pics.
Posted by: Louise at June 28, 2008 7:40 AMLondon (Ont) whacko City councillors are about to save some Polar bears Kate's truck is busy killing.
Prohibiting future drive-throughs is in the works.
London is not a real friendly place for small business.
Calgary is debating the same thing. having elected the most liberal interfering council ever they sit on high like a cardinals college. banning drive thru, pesticides, deciding what buildings should look like downtown and building LRT lines over their own property. the LRT stations all have reverse slooped roofs so they behave like windtunnels, reverse lighting so the light is going to the stars and massive 100 million dollar buildings that cover nothing more than a couple of slow printing ticket machines.
combine this with a road system of decorative but disfunctional road interchanges that are hemmed in by lights and you have permanent grid lock.
anyway Calgary should be exited mssr dion is coming to the stampede to explain his green tax on us. hope he can hold his booze better than Maxime did last year.
Hope you were able to concentrate on driving and not be consumed by a fear of impending funnel vision.
Posted by: MadMacs of Bytown at June 28, 2008 9:34 AMMy wife is mad at me. I lost my cool and angrily shut off the TV last night when CTV Pravda (Calgary) announced that it had new evidence of the dangers of global warming.
I find that CTV has more Goebbels disciples than any other “news” media. Pretty soon they will be showing an ice cube melting on a sidewalk and announce that it is irrefutable evidence of global warming.

Thanks for the morning chuckle.....
Falls into the category of "It's funny cause it's true"
Posted by: Platty at June 28, 2008 9:42 AMYou still have gas stations that aren't self-serve? Do they charge more for the privilege?

No, the Co-Ops all have full serve afaik, and in Delisle, the gas is usually 2 -3 cents cheaper than in Saskatoon.
Posted by: Kate at June 28, 2008 11:49 AMMike T........funny,but sad and true. Love it.
Posted by: peterj at June 28, 2008 12:38 PMOMG!! Are those methane fireballs I see in your photos?! Glowball warming has reached the cataclysmic stage faster than I thought! It's the end of the world as we know it, it's the end of the world as we know it, it's the end of the world as we know it...and I feel fine!
Posted by: Eeyore at June 28, 2008 12:44 PMWow!! I just love that big sky!...
Just curious...what time of day was it?
I think it was around 8:30pm-ish?
Posted by: Kate at June 28, 2008 1:09 PMAs a ex stubble jumper I use to love watching the big thunderheads move in across the land.
Posted by: Rednik at June 28, 2008 1:28 PMThere are polar bears in Saskatchewan? And you can shoot them from your pick up?
COOL, I AM SOOO THERE!
Posted by: Doug at June 28, 2008 2:13 PMIs that hail I see, with the little light trails forming behind it? That's frickin' kewl!
And speaking of kewl, I was watching BNN last night where they had a segment on the oil price. Can't remember the names, but one guy was basically a normal, intelligent human being who said AGW/climate change was a crock and the Liberals green shaft was a propaganda exercise. The other guy was a Dion fart catcher and called the first guy a "denier" right there on TV.
Truly these people are starting to unravel.
Posted by: The Phantom at June 28, 2008 2:19 PMAn excellent opinion column in the Globe today by Rex Murphy:
Science by Intimidation
It has implication for the censorship/free speech debate as well.
Bonus points for having a smoke while idling to let it warm up.
Haha, listening to a financial news show on the radio this morning hosted by Premier Campbell’s brother, one ad extolling the virtues of BC’s “so-called revenue neutral carbon tax” and three ads mocking Dion’s “green shift” tax grab.
Heads are gonna’ roll.
Did you guys see the latest Dion video giving out the weather in TO?
What a laugh. This guy is a fruitloop. Liberal supporters can't make fun of Manning or Day anymore after this guy. Holy Crap!

the "another here" pix would be excellent in B & W
but not bad for an airbrush artist:-)))))
cal2:
Count your blessings.
Compared to Calgary, Edmonton Roads stink to high heaven. There isn’t even a road right threw the city. The freeway's have traffic LIGHTS!!!! Low speeds for police cameras. An LRT system that runs only threw the ghetto area. Now wending its way to nowhere.
The problem Cal is these socialist Mayors & councilors. Why oh why do they get re-elected. Its our fault. You vote for greedy socialist chimps, what do you expect. Both cities are guilty of this.
Posted by: Revnant Dream at June 28, 2008 9:21 PMThe photos are dramatic.
The one with the Coop station and gas sign is an excellent *ominous times ahead* shot.
Just what the media is looking for to go with stories about rising oil and gas prices.
Bet we see it here again in a post.= TG
Posted by: TG at June 28, 2008 11:43 PMThat's the same sky as when Moses parted the Red Sea in "The Ten Commandments."
Posted by: Lone Ranger at June 29, 2008 12:35 AMPS: Are you sure that's not smoke from Fort McMurry?? (Just kidding)
Posted by: Lone Ranger at June 29, 2008 12:41 AMNice photos. That almost looks like a wall cloud in the main one, which sometime spawn tornadoes.
Posted by: nv53 at June 29, 2008 2:24 AMHey Kate,
Your pics would look better with your flash set to second-curtain mode so it flashes at the end of the exposure instead of the beginning. That way the streaks left by the rain would be in the right direction.
