Abandoned Stuff by Saskboy

I’m posting a re-run blog post this hour. Enjoy!

Notice that the world is mourning the death of a different former leader this year, Pakistan’s Bhutto. And the Mint still hasn’t eliminated the penny or dime, even though we could be using the American coins by the same name (and which are produced at a bargain value due to the devaluation of the Greenback).

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:

Certainly not God’s best choice of President to have keel over this year.

Here’s the Mint in Winnipeg:
