Tisdale: As I was about to savour my 7-11 coffee this afternoon this rig pulled up to the pumps. Behind an SUV was a large trailer with a Polaris Ranger on board on this side by side ATV has a closed in cabin and in place of wheels a set of tracks and a nice new snow blade out on the front.

Nothing new about new parliament
Wednesday
November 19, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: In Ottawa today the Governor General read the speech from the throne (link to speech). The NDP and Bloc say they will not support it and the Liberals say it is so unimportant that they will not oppose it. Didn't we just have an election about "doing something" and yet here we are with the same old situation.
Keeping Christmas
Thursday
November 20, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Here are a couple of the many yards and houses in Tisdale that have already decked their halls as it were with their version of Christmas cheer. Confusing to an old guy who likes to decorate the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve, the same day he does his Christmas shopping.
Pre-Pre Christmas
Friday
November 21, 2008
by: Ken Styan
Tisdale: Perhaps it has something to do with the age of some us but yesterday's story about Keeping Christmas is reflected upon as we consider coldness and outdoor Christmas light installation and how partners in a household may share different views about when to "do Christmas."
