THE MOUNTAINS OF SASKATCHEWAN!!!

First of all, I want to tell you how difficult it is to be without the internet.  I'm in Saskatoon, and if that isn't bad enough, where I'm staying has no internet!  I know you don't believe me, but it's true!  By the time you see this, I will already be on my way back.  I'm writing this on Tuesday evening...I've taken lots of pictures, and I want to start you off with the mountains of Saskatchewan.  There they are:

 What do you mean "where are the mountains?"...they're right there...see'em?  Ok, here's a different one of the rugged north ridge...steep huh?

 Saskatchewan is beautiful!  Everywhere you look is soooo different!

 ...you would never suspect that I took this shot on the same continent, much less the same province!

The difficulty with Saskatchewan is that it's soooo  hilly that you can't see traffic until it's right up on you.

Oh, and look at that...boy, that's interesting!

...nope...nothing there.  Anyway, enough of the beautiful scenery...the reason I came out here was to see my childhood friend and his family.  His mother Anne is 94, and beautiful!!!

She was my mother's best friend...Anne said they NEVER fought.  She got kind of sad when she thought about my mother...

...I've known Anne since I was 4 years old...she IS my second mother.  I've known this guy as long...Anne's son Terry...

More later.

Practice...practice...practice...

When you exist at as high a level as The Lone DeRanger, you have to practice!  Gotta stay sharp!  That means time on the bowl practice range...

...I think the toilets are the same all over...those outhouses are the best though!  I really hope the grass hasn't changed in Saskatchewan...if I remember right, you could really get a grip on it!

I'M EXHAUSTED!!!  Better have a nap...where's that gutter?

On the road again...I can't wait to get on the road again...drinking beer with my friends (none).........

It's been a while since I "roadtripped"..headed south I think...which direction is that?  Cassandra tells me I'm goin' east this time...to a place called Saskatoon...in a former lifetime I used to live there.  I'm going to visit my second mother, who just turned 94!  That's damned near as old as my liver!!!  Ann Boyenko was my mother's best friend...we lived in her house for 8 years...when I was the Little DeRanger!  Her son is 6 months older than I am...and he still lives  2 doors down from his mother...my oldest friend!  Memory Lane...Saskatoon....here I come!
