IMG_4810I was in Regina this week meeting with one of my customers, and I had an opportunity to visit the set of one of my favorite TV shows - Corner Gas.  Most of you have probably never heard of Corner Gas, but it’s the #1 rated sitcom in Canada.  Jodie doesn’t understand how it can make me laugh out loud when we’re watching it, the main character Brett has a very odd sense of humour that I just can’t help but laugh at.  Perry was my host, and I think he got a kick out of how much I was enjoying visiting the set. 

Dog River is a fictional tiny town in Saskatchewan, but it really is the town of Rouleau.  The main gas station and restaurant are sets, but the rest of the buildings in town are actually part of the town itself.  They were filming as we drove by, but they shuffled us along when they were getting ready to shoot a scene.
At dinner back in Regina, the actor who plays Officer Davis sat down at the next table to have a beer and we chatted for a little bit.  It was a full Corner Gas visit (oh, and we got lots of business done as well).  My pictures can be found here (didn’t get a pic with Davis).

Just saw a woman walking two muzzled pitbulls and a baby in a stroller. Not judging. Ok, yes I'm judging.

Giving up on renewing my health card. Two hour wait.

I screwed my back up three days ago. Now starting to get annoyed that it isn't getting better. So much to do!

No more snow. :-( Lots of wind though, threw my steel patio table across the lawn.

Very pleased with Settlers of Catan (board game I received for Christmas). I can see this becoming an addiction.

I've been fattened up on turkey and pie. All things considered, it's a "good fat".

A very Merry Christmas to everyone who's still awake at the stroke of midnight. I'm settling in for my long winter's nap.

Weaseling successful. Shopping with my Buick float-a-boat (pretty sure that's the marketing name).

Trying to weasel my way into a loaner car so I can finish my shopping while the car is getting serviced.
