A word of advice: When living in Winnipeg Beach and had to travel to Winnipeg during the time when the lake was not fully frozen and lake effect was dumping snow onto the west side of the lake, highway 8 was usually less snow/ice covered. And there is a decent auto repair shop in Clandeboye.

Buddy Holley was a Bomber??????

Thank God we have a game tomorrow to agonize and revel over. Too many people here have gotten cranky during the bye week.

Sean Connery's Personal Aston Martin DB5 Auctioned For $2.4 Million The James Bond actor's DB5, purchased two years before his death, fetched $1 million more than estimated. By Marco Margaritoff Aug 24, 2022, 12:06 PM EDT Connery popularized the DB5 with his role in 1964's "Goldfinger." MICHAEL OCHS ARCHIVES VIA GETTY IMAGES When Sean Connery took the role of James Bond in 1962, he kickstarted a multibillion-dollar film franchise with a lifespan exceeding any other. His third outing in 1964’s “Goldfinger” made the Aston Martin DB5 a coveted luxury sports car. The actor’s personal model — the only one he ever owned — just sold for $2.4 million at auction. Last week’s Broad Arrow Auctions event in Monterey, California, attracted wealthy attendees with a slew of classic cars, according to the New York Post. None held as much sentimental value as Connery’s 1964 DB5, which he bought in 2018, two years before his death at age 90. “Dad used to talk about owning his own DB5, for no other reason than he loved the car, and I think in hindsight it did represent something in his life that was unique and captured a moment in time,” his son Jason Connery said in an auction company statement.

Quote of the day and it seems to perfectly relate to the Riders and Elks," When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king. The palace becomes a circus tent".

Mudge was a very good O-lineman, especially for a Canuck, but Bryant has been nothing short of dominant. He will be very difficult to replace when the time comes.

Agreed. I kinds knee-jerk jumped at the prospect of Lirim returning but at some point you gotta dance with the gal you brought to the party. Lets give our soph kicker a chance to redeem himself. Everybody screws up once in a while.

This is more than a resemblance.

Awww....crap! But we ought to get him back in plenty of time for the playoff run.

There's still a lot of them around in Mar-A-Lago, the US senate and in the leadership race for the CPC party, not to mention our current provincial government,

Republicans of late have shown themselves to be remarkably resistant to obvious stupidity, let alone irony, and ethics,

"This order is hilarious": Trump-appointed judge sends back his DOJ suit because it makes no sense Former President Trump and his legal team have filed a motion asking a federal judge to pause the FBI's review of alleged classified documents taken from his Mar-a-Lago resort so a neutral special master can be appointed to inspect them. The motion was included in a federal lawsuit filed by Trump targeting the FBI's justification for the Aug. 8 raid. According to reports, Trump had more than 300 classified documents at his Palm Beach resort that he allegedly took from the White House at the end of his tenure. But in a new development this Tuesday, the judge overseeing the case gave Trump and his legal team until Friday to give more specifics as to why they think their motion should be granted. "Judge Aileen Cannon seems skeptical about Trump's lawsuit over the search of Mar-a-Lago, including what exactly he is trying to do and why he filed a separate case instead of just asking Judge Bruce Reinhart to address his grievances in the existing matter," explained New York Times reporter Charlie Savage. "The judge assigned to Trump's civil complaint is basically telling them they need to do better," tweeted Reuters reporter and legal expert Sarah Lynch. As CBS News' Steven Portnoy pointed out, the judge wants Trump's legal team to provide "the asserted basis for the exercise of this Court's jurisdiction," "the precise relief sought, including any request for injunctive relief," and the "the effect, if any, of the proceeding before" Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart. "This order is hilarious," added David French of The Dispatch. "Any decent litigator would read it and shudder--basically the judge is saying to Trump's team, 'Do your job.'" "Translation: Trump's motion is a mess and the judge needs them to spell out exactly what they're asking for and why they think they're entitled to that relief," tweeted Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor. https://www.salon.com/2022/08/24/this-order-is-hilarious-appointed-sends-back-his-doj-suit-because-it-makes-no-sense_partner/

Tucker Carlson’s Hateful Conspiracy: Chemicals in Milk Turn Kids Trans Conspiracy theorists have become an essential and accepted component of the MAGA party/religion for some time now. As much damage as it’s done to our body politic, it gets even more dangerous when it is directed with hatred at specific marginalized groups of people, as Tucker Carlson did in claiming that chemicals in milk “turn kids trans.” The loving and respectful response is, “So? What’s the problem?” If chemicals in milk are unhealthy, then we should evaluate the benefit versus harm but not consider “turning kids trans” as an inherently bad outcome akin to cancer or skin lesions. Caution is warranted only because trans teens are the demographic segment most likely – by far – to commit suicide. It is not the resulting “trans” identity that is the problem. It is how society, like Tucker Carlson, who implies this is terrible, that is a real problem. https://www.politicususa.com/2022/08/23/tucker-carlson-milk-trans.html

There seems to be no bottom to which Faux News will stoop to in lies:

That, as Mr. Spock would say, it the logical next step.

Russia announced the "adoption" of 1,000 children deported from Mariupol More than 1,000 Ukrainian children, illegally removed from occupied Mariupol, were given up for "adoption" in the Krasnodar region of Russia alone.

Plans to resurrect the Tasmanian tiger in the works, extinct since the 1930's, advancements in technology have made it possible and feasible.

YESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!

Particularly with the Duke MIA and a set of turnstiles on the O-line. Gonna be verrry interestink to watch for the rest of the season.

Sunken Nazi WWII Warships Resurface In Danube River As Drought Worsens More than 20 German warships that sank in the Danube River during World War II have resurfaced as record heatwaves in Europe reduced the essential waterway to one of its lowest levels in modern history, Reuters reported. The warships were previously known to authorities but remained largely underwater for decades. They are now exposed near Prahovo, Serbia, in the Danube, which is Europe’s second-largest river and spans from southwestern Germany to eastern Romania, according to CBS News. Formerly crewed by the Nazis’ Black Sea fleet, the German vessels were scuttled by Soviet ships while retreating in 1944. Some of the vessels still have visible turrets and command bridges with ruptured masts and damaged hulls, while most are largely covered by sand banks. Most urgently, many of them still hold ammunition and explosives, which pose a danger to shipping industries and fishermen. The resurfacing of the warships serves as a glaring reminder of rising temperatures around the globe. Water levels of the Danube River near Budapest, for instance, recently plummeted 5 feet in three weeks, according to the Associated Press. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ww2-warships-resurface-in-danube-river_n_63049d00e4b052615d748f09

2 Men Guilty Of Conspiring To Kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. The jury also found Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. guilty of conspiring to obtain a weapon of mass destruction. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A jury on Tuesday convicted two men of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020, in a plot prosecutors described as a rallying cry for a U.S. civil war by anti-government extremists. The jury also found Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. guilty of conspiring to obtain a weapon of mass destruction, namely a bomb to blow up a bridge and stymie police if the kidnapping could be pulled off at Whitmer’s vacation home. Croft, 46, a trucker from Bear, Delaware, was also convicted of another explosives charge. It was the second trial for the pair after a jury in April couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict. Two other men were acquitted and two more pleaded guilty and testified for prosecutors. The result was a victory for the government following the shocking mixed outcome last spring. “You can’t just strap on an AR-15 and body armor and go ****** the governor,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Nils Kessler told jurors. “But that wasn’t the defendants’ ultimate goal, they wanted to set off a second American civil war, a second American Revolution, something that they call the boogaloo. And they wanted to do it for a long time before they settled on Gov. Whitmer.”

That same section of the Bible sanctions death for anyone who wears two different fabrics (ie: wool plus cotton) at the same time, as well as death for anyone who plants two different crops in the same field, allows fathers to sell their daughters and own slaves. But these "Christians" do not want to talk about this. And men cannot sleep in the same bed as women who are having their periods or touch any woman who is not one of their wives (and polygamy is OK but not polyandry).

Fajardo is only the first problem that has to be dealt with, not the only one and not the biggest. The circus will be staying in Regina for the rest of the season.
