The very best from my family to your's during the Christmas holidays. Finally the weather has improved and expect to see many on our fantastic facility at Wapiti with their new skis and snowboard gear.
For many it's a time of reflection and for me personally a time of thankfulness for many friends and family and co-workers who make my job and this blog so much fun. I especially thankful for "The Weather". I'm not a cold fan - but I'm a snow fan and though many would disagree I'd much prefer a little shovelling, to a minus 50 temperature and a fozen florescent orange extension cord.
The New Year will be a challenging one - for all of us. Economics in the US do reflect the economics in Canada to a certain measure; and we all expect big things from the new President of the United States. But - we still have to hold our own in Canada. Don't forget your local merchants - and don't forget that they - like Broadcasters - depend on your business in the months ahead. I shop local - and hope that you'll support your favorite businesses in 2009.
Please pray for and remember out troops in Afghanistan - and every Friday make it a resolution to wear something Red on Fridays. These men and women put their lives on the line every day so that we may live in this great Country called Canada. Happy New Year to all and Peace to all. How bout' a few odds and sodds to take us thru to 2009.

One of the more weird stories of 2008 - TEXTING TO THE ALIENS -Some in Britain are paying to have their text messages beamed into space. Hundreds of people are paying $15 to have their text beamed into the cosmos on radio waves using a giant satellite transmission dish. A customer says"I am certain their are aliens out there, and by using this, who knows I might get lucky and my text could be the first thing from earth they see." Can you say ‘scam’ boys and girls.
Still one pair of tickets left for our trip to Puerto Plata this February. If you want to join Maureen, myself and family be sure to call CAA travel in Prince Albert. Treat yourself in 2009. We're very much looking forward for you to join us.
