Tim's Tip of the Day

If you are planning a trip to the United States get ready to tough it out when it comes to food. Though all restaurant food his much more expensive most we encountered was also inedible.

Kevin's find of the day

Pro basketball players seem to get into more trouble then other professional athletes.

Ensign Notes

Summer holidays: That's right, 2003 is the first year since 1991 that we have had a chance to take a holiday. During June, July and the first two weeks of August we will have some intermittant days when Ensign will not post. Our plan is to do some tripping and camping here in Saskatchewan. We are in Winnipeg today and as soon as this page is finished will be on our way to Tisdale.
Will post each day this week but not on the weekend.

Tisdale at 35'
Friday, July 25, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
With only a little perspective things look a lot different. FTLComm is working on a project to produce some special images for the Tisdale Town web site and you get to see the work in progress.

The Greenwater report
Friday, July 28, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
With hot summer weather Gerald is finding it hard to stay put as he goes camping, but, he takes us along.

Our own understanding is better than the managed objective truth: The 9-11 attacks, Al Qaeda and Iraq
Friday, July 25, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
American politicians are struggling with what constitutes the truth and what to do about apparent deliberate attempts to give the public impressions of things that are not even close to reality. This story includes some outstanding references and needs your full attention.

Plymouth Fury, 1958
Wednesday, July 23, 2003
by: R. W. Shire and Timothy Shire
What kind of world must it have been for there to have been a time when someone would design a car that looked like this one. Definitely makes one think about the exuburance and enthusiasm of the 1950s.

It's My Party, I'll Try If I Want To
Wednesday, July 23, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
This story outlines the basic issues that Ron Thornton feels are needed to make Canada a fair and appropriate country.

The gospel of fairer taxes in accordance with the preachers: Mr. Robinson and Friar Thomas d'Aquino
Wednesday, July 23, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The motivation behind the policies advocated by some of the "experts" needs to be questioned. Mario suggests that the way of thinking may even be a problem as the problem may not even be the problem.

Greenwater Provincial Park a gem
Monday, July 21, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Each week Gerald Crawford tells us about life in around the fifth provincial park in Saskatchewan but it isn't until you spend some time at the place do you discover the remarkable beauty and outstanding outdoor setting that makes this one of the most attractive parks in the province.

The Greenwater Report
Monday, July 21, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Gerald and Doreen have been wandering and this week's report is a photo essay of their adventures and journeys. This edition of the "Report" has some truly memorable images.

Memo to the Premiers: No more tax collectors … thanks, but no thanks
Monday, July 21, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
At the recent premier's conference in Charlottetown the idea of the provinces going it alone to collect taxes was once more trotted out to show their displeasure with Ottawa. Walter Robinson points out that it is not a sound idea and has no real merit.

The GREED of the Free Market is not a matter of public or private services: SHIN and SAIC, Romanow and Robinson
Monday, July 21, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Guilt by association, at least motivation by association seems to be the underlying theme as Mario reports on the cozy association Saskatchewan's government has had with one of the world's leading arms dealers and developers.

Greenwater Highland trail
Monday, July 21, 2003
by: Timothy and Judy Shire
Join us for a walk of about an hour and twenty minutes through forest, past some swamps and up and over a hill or two. Sorry you can only see the pictures, the saskatoons are not compatible with this medium.

Annual storms rip across the prairie
Friday, July 18, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Last night warning and severe weather watch alerts were broadcast as a series of cells marched across Saskatchewan. This page includes a QuickTime VR showing last nights sky at sunset.

The Convertible syndrome
Thursday, July 17, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
In a country where there are years when the weather is not good enough to find a day to put the top down the idea of a topless car is like forbidden candy or like winning the lottery dreams.
