by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: With the weekend's rain followed by yesterday and today one wonders "How long can you tread water?" It has been a miserable cool summer with Albertans complaining of drought and Manitobans still pumping out their basements from spring flooding. Now I wonder if its to late to get in touch with Noah for some advice and information about what's a cubit.

Kenosee Lake, Moose Mountain Provincial Park: For many who grew up in South Eastern Saskatchewan, Kenosee Lake was the centre of the universe.
