What a crazy beautiful place it is that we live, after a week of -40+ (wind chill included) temps this mornings -12 had me considering shorts and the gorgeous fog was surreal to drive through.

While I mention the beauty of the drive I should be clear, I was still driving Saskatoon's pothole ridden streets in the company of Saskatoon drivers which means that it was a slow bumpy cloud that I was driving through, but the softness surrounding took away from the typical frustrations of our fine cities drivers who merge into 90km traffic at a speed of 70km per hour, which irk me to know end - not as much as those who use the portion between Taylor and 8th street as a connecting road and never bring themselves up to speed, you know who you are - don't do this it's dangerous to all involved, especially you if you pull in front of an eighteen wheeler going 90km per hour without looking at 50km per hour bringing yourself up to maybe 70km before taking the next exit, damn it take Acadia theres only two pedestrian lights it's just as quick.

But this morning with visibility reduced to a very short distance in some places there was at least reason for those driving 70 on the freeway to do so, 

I only wish I had my camera handy to go kill some of the morning shooting our great city as the sun came up and the fog burnt off.

It's mornings like these that remind me why even in Dec. Saskatoon can still be a great place to live.

And one more note on the -40 and below weather - if we didn't have get it and walk through it we would lose our bragging rights about how bloody tough we are here, and this really comes in handy, if fact last week in the middle of it I had two separate conversations with new clients of mine, one in San Diego where it was raining, the other in Vegas where it had snowed - both quit complaining about their whether when I mentioned that we were -40 on both scales.

Best of the Season to all of you who read this, whatever the holidays mean to you.
