Posted by: Steve at October 23, 2008 11:43 AMDoes this mean, Kate, that one day while you were out huntin' small animals on your land, up came abubbublin' crude? Texas tea? Well, now you'll be able to keep your family fed and move to the hills, Beverly Hills, that is. Will those schnauzies will soon be wearing diamond-studded collars.
Maybe you can spare a few bucks to help poor Borat pay off his leadership debts.

the herald this morning bemoaning that if the price of oil goes down then electric cars cant compete. news for them, they cant anyway.
The dufus really worrying about the falling price of oil is Danny "Big Mouth" Williams. He was full of himself at $140 oil and did his whole ABC thing figuring he was rich and could diss PMSH.
Now with prices down 50% his offshore wealth has evaporated and he is going to have to go to Ottawa and beg for more handouts.
Beg Danny, beg. It so becomes you.

Sweet light gravity oil to boot,little upgrading recquired with some water to separate,great for Brad Wall and Saskatchewan residents.

Posted by: Spurwing Plover at October 23, 2008 2:36 PMIn many ways the prairies are far more interesting than mountainscapes.
Back in the day, I used to build power lines south of Maple Creek and Medicine Hat district. You could see the curvature of the earth manifest itself in the picket formations of the poles running out to the horizon. This was an awesome visual effect of the flatland sweetgrass prairie. The sky is just so huge there. A sure antidote for claustrophobics.
how much bubbly per day?

Posted by: Doug at October 23, 2008 3:36 PMDown here in SE Saskatchean, Allan, the production delays are being caused by a shortage of diesel - such as they are. A recent traffic survey of HWY 13 showed 250 vehicles per hour between 7am and 9am. (Most of them trucks.)

Posted by: RW at October 23, 2008 5:29 PMJust what is it you have against the Giants? And are their fans really worse than any other team's?
Posted by: ebt at October 23, 2008 6:12 PMKate
It looks like a good producer judging from the tanks/control equipment. Is this a new play or an extension of an existing field? Sask Oil?

Posted by: syncrodox at October 23, 2008 8:10 PMGiants fans can't be that bad. If they are, it's probably Eli's fault.

Posted by: notasocialist at October 24, 2008 12:47 AMIf you squint just a little bit, it looks like a scene straight out of GIANT (right Vit?).
What's next?
A CBC series with the name 'DELISLE' splashed across the screen complete with panning in on the infamous 'JR' McMillan Ranch at Southfork Sask?
Hey, that sounds a hell of lot better than Little Mosque.
