Drove to Winnipeg Saturday morning. Looked at houses most of the afternoon. Visited Mr and Mrs SHB and was introduced to the absolutely adorable Slider.
Looked at more houses Sunday morning and got home around 6pm.

Really wondering why in the hell I decided this was a good idea.

Good.  Stay in Saskatchewan.  We don't need more NDP supporters in Manitoba.

Stopped into one of the Morrisburg service center on the 401 tonight.  On the wall as you enter the men's washroom is a slogan:  Adventure Awaits!   That doesn't really entice me to want to find out what sort of adventure awaits inside the washroom, but luckily for me there was no adventure.
