1.0 Get Back

This past week and a half have been quite eventful.  On Wednesday, the 17th, we had the blizzard of the century, this century at least.  Apparently, it was the worst blizzard in Saskatoon since 1955.  Winds got up to 85 km/h and it snowed anywhere between 10-25 cms.  Either way, it pretty much shut the whole city down for two days.

Late last Saturday, Trista got a call that her grandpa passed away just after midnight.  It was a very unexpected and upsetting time.  We both cried.  Trista’s mom, brother and mom’s boyfriend all came down early Sunday morning, about 5:30am.  We then left Sunday afternoon for Yorkton.  We spent Sunday until Thursday there.  We had a viewing on Tuesday and the funeral on Wednesday.  It was a very emotional time the entire week.  Trista now seems fine.  Things are ok.  It’s all good.

0.9 Happy Dead Year

Well, big news of the year so far is definitely the execution of Saddam Hussien. I would post link to video, but that’s not really necessary. We all know he died, how he died and all that mish-mash. Anyway, with his death comes the (supposed) end of the American fight to finish Saddam and Iraq. Now, the Americans have quite the mess on their hands with Iraq. There’s still fighting, unbelievable amount of deaths, and another shitty government in power. Already, the new government is allowing American companies to come in for the oil. I’m almost surprised they didn’t let this happen sooner. So, it seems one of the final goals of this war, getting oil, is completed. Saddam is gone and oil is plenty. Could the Americans be any happier? Well, besides all the bloodshed and extra troops soon to enter the country. Apparently, Pres. G.W. Bush is/was making a speech on the progress of the Iraqi war tonight. Didn’t bother to listen as I know what he was all ready going to say. Blah blah blah. A whole bunch of misleading words. Lies. Lies. Lies. Well, Mr. Bush, I hope you’re happy with the wonderful country of Iraq you have given to the world. A big shit hole. And, Saddam was right, hell is now Iraq.
