Back from the ‘Peg ; President is dead

I got back from Winnipeg today. I took photos in plenty of places, including the Mint, where I learned that since 2001 they’ve been Plating the coins so that even pennies cost just a fraction of a cent to produce. On the way back along the Yellowhead highway I took photos in Gladstone, Binscarth, and Russel to name a few. Bredenbury’s light display was still running so I saw that award winning display for the first time, and they have an FM station with Christmas music even.

I was surprised to hear Saddam was hanged already in the past day, and underneath I saw typical liberal CBC with the “fair and balanced” take on the story:

Family mourns former president at private service

Oh, then I noticed that it was actually President Ford who had died and was being mourned. Ha, fooled you too?
Certainly not God’s best choice of President to have keel over this year.

Here’s the Mint in Winnipeg:
