- Thursday, June 5, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire

find a road that will get my vehicle stuck. But today I only show you the roads I

| The facts of life are that we are all doomed, face it and accept the inevitable but

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. Today were were touring the Weekes area. |
