Saskatoon

The rain we drove through Monday was part of a horrible storm that produced 200mm of rain in an hour out here. Flooded basements, etc. Part of the Yellowhead Highway was flooded and down to one lane. The water eroded the roadbed and the highway buckled. It will take them a month to fix it.

Just read in the Star-Phoenix this morning, this is on pace to be the coldest August in Saskatoon ever. There were frost warnings all over the country last night.

Man! Who misses that flipping hot July?

So back in my hometown - what is that weird feeling? Not quite nostalgia, not quite nausea. Driving in and starting to see the familiar sights, you get flashbacks to strange places that you thought had long been purged. And then to go to those places one of two things happen, either the place is gone or it hasn't changed a bit.

But things are changing. Saskatoon is busy. Drove into a couple of traffic jams that don't quite match the Glenmore mess but are close. Do I want to move back here...?
