Are you going to re-retain the same lawyer you used before?

The highest level of professional football played in Saskatoon is in the chicks league. What does that say about generational townie attitudes towards masculinity?

Less civilization than time. Saskatoon hit a wall in about 1983 and stopped.

Farmers in John Deere hats who are a little too obsessed about homosexuals largely.

I'm guessing his front yard is a prison yard.

I've made it to almost fifty and only used a real estate lawyer. Huh.

Midwestern nasal. A bit Fargo-ish, with more lazy swearing (you've heard me; I'm pretty typical).

And yet there's nowhere to ride. My serious biking will be over if we return. The only place I could ride for speed would be on the shoulder of a highway and that's just a waiting game before I'm smushed. So I'd be riding in the basement year-round. :sad:

On a scale of 1 to 10, how frustrating/depressing is it to live in a city that conservative?

Admission time: it looks more like a city than I expected. I was picturing the town from Northern Exposure.
