Road trip

I had always heard that there were a lot of car accidents in Regina.

Now I know why.

On Monday, a co-worker of mine and I made the long, five hour journey to Estevan. It was part of some tips and training for the company we work for, and allowed us to see how things can be done for what we do. Very enlightening, I must say. We went to the Estevan Lifestyles and got a warm welcome and managed to see some incredible things.

But on the journey we saw many different (and unusal) sights. Like drivers in Regina. Drivers in Regina, I have found, are a lot less considerate than drivers in Saskatoon. Perhaps it's because I know the city of Saskatoon much better. But driving in rush hour traffic on a Tuesday afternoon was like jockeying for position. Let's just say a few choice words were said while I was behind the wheel.

There was a few stops that were really interesting, however. The town of Chamberlain is very picturesque. When the greens of spring finally come around, that place is going to look incredible. Craik was a mellowing experience, especially when we drove past the Flax House. The Flax House received national attention a while back when the owner of the house showed how much energy was saved by heating his home with bales.

All in all, a very good time during the trip. I wish I could have a few photos, but being behind the wheel did not afford me the opportunity to do so.

Until next time...

Look, listen and learn.

Keep 'em flyin'.
