And I've been to the horrible, horrible hell that is Hamilton. At least here on the prairies we can blame the climate and weather for our troubles (I will not be defending the blandy mcblandness of the average Saskatchewan-born's tastes); in Hamilton it always comes down to the you-can-use-it-to-develop-film quality of the water in Lake Onterrible.

The answer is conditional on your response to this question: Is the reason you want to visit Tisdale the fact that its motto is "The Land of Rape and Honey"? This question comes from my GF, who just now tried and failed to get an account - something wrong with the credit card system I guess. Not that your response *really* matters, because the motto of the whole drat (flat) province used to be "The Land of Rape and Honey". Seriously, I've been through Tisdale, it's right there on the sign at the edge of town. To partly answer your question: we'll be here for at least the next 6 months, possibly a year or two longer. Long-term plans are not something I can do. But if we're still here, yes, absolutely a fellow X-700 lovin' fool can crash on our (surprisingly comfortable) couch. EDIT: I'm reading the wiki entry for Tisdale and it mentions the shootout just outside of town in 1920. I stopped at that "Point of Interest" on a Sunday Drive a few years ago. Most "Point of Interest" highway markers here boil down to "There was a school here", but the one just outside Tisdale is bad-rear end. Setting fire to the hay-bale a train-robber was hiding inside is part of the story. ExecuDork fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Oct 28, 2014 |

xzzy posted:Does Moose Jaw have any of: a) No. Hilariously no. b) Probably. There's a small river running through town, somebody probably ties a rowboat to a dock on it every once in a while. c) Yes. Of course! d) Yes. Surprisingly, because this is southern Saskatchewan we're talking about, where trees are notable by their general absence. e) Only a little in-town, but Saskatchewan includes many, many ghost towns abandonded in the 1970's and 1980's. Plus Rural Decay in the form of abandoned farmhouses and old granaries and other agricultural facilities since taken over by corporate Ag. f) In the summer, the mosquitoes will carry you away and dessicate your corpse if you're not careful. Relatively few homeless, in this province most homeless people either die of exposure in winter, move to Victoria, or get jobs in uranium mines in the north. The Legion Hall has a mural on the side, would that attract any Dorkroom goons?

It's funny that you remember what I look like. If you are still in town, say hello, and I'll buy you a drink. Was just in town briefly with family to visit my sister. I'll be passing back through and spending Saturday night, but probably too late to hang out

Sorry, I forgot all about my post. I want to visit Tisdale because it's my last name. And it's the land of rape and honey. I'd most likely have a wife and kid in tow so I'd find a hotel room anyway, but I'd still totally cook you some Southern cookings.

If any of you come to melbourne, australia you can stay in my house. I'm like 45minute from the CBD by tram, which is pretty close. Also I'm a nurse as of two hours ago so I can look at your haemorrhoids and poo poo. Let me know! EDIT: I don't want to look at your haemorrhoids unless they're epic. Thanks

This is from the nearby town of Star City (a sad, sad lying shadow of its namesake in Kazakhstan) in March. Don't come in March unless you really, really like frostbite.  SD 050 Star City by Execudork, on FlickrJuly. Come in July, you can laugh at us Saskatcheweeners when we complain about the heat, and we can laugh at your puzzlement over the sunset happening at 9:30pm. This is pretty representative of Saskatchewan in late June. It's a bit drier in July and August.

Don't worry, I'm sure that after your 20 hour flight and 45 minute tram ride you'll have something to show him.
