I love living in Saskatchewan... well my area of Saskatchewan. In the mid-central part we have hills and Saskatoon is a university city. Saskatchewan has some of the finest lakes and wildlife in the world and since only a million of us live here, there is lots of wilderness to go around.

In the winter however it is stinking cold here. This morning my fuel line froze up just like nothing. One second I am driving down the highway, the next I am stopped on an awfully quiet stretch of road hoping my cell phone works. It was -30. Luckily someone came along and gave us a ride to the next town. $150 later I am towed back into Saskatoon and not happy about it.

There are other alternatives and not everyone I know has to drive 340 kms every Sunday for work but once or twice a year I start to think about living in a different part of the world. Today is one of those days.
