I received the picture on the left in my mail - I couldn't stop giggling about it - it's just too goofy.
It's a Snowman's Convention in Regina.
The average Canadian man will spend $165.oo on their Valentine. I think I'm a bit low - is a bail out possible ?
The new Naicam Golf Simulator is very cool – this is so real you can actually walk around the find old top flites – Tonya to book 874 2337 – Pebble Beach, Pinehurst, Banff Springs – all those courses you can’t get on even if you had Andy Renault with ya.
Clean Out Your Computer Day – clean out your computer if -

...the last time you cleaned it out was...... never
...you think Pentium must be Latin for..... “could this thing be any slower”
...if you push the wrong key.... suddenly you’re playing a game of pongWhat do you mean never heard of a Commodore 64
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition hits the stores - girls not eating for 6 weeks would be hard on anyone
Canada’s finance minister Jim Flaherty is already talking about the need for more stimulus
Lots of people are talking about President Obama’s upcoming five hour pitstop in Ottawa….when the President will…. Be spreading some of his stimulus package on… $8 dollar egg salad sandwiches at the airport and that’s about all.
Here’s the problem with it being freezing cold on Valentine’s Day…..even if you’re arguing with your better half… you have to snuggle just to keep warm
Ticketmaster and Live Nation are talking about a merger. We'd tell you more, but there's a huge service charge.
and too late to make the Noon News .......
SMITHSONIAN WANTS FRANKLIN HAT _ The Smithsonian Institution has asked the Aretha Franklin to donate the hat she wore during President Obama's inauguration. Personally when I saw the hat it looked a bit like a giant bat – I guess you could wear it for Easter.
The first Macintosh computer has turned 25 years old. And it's being used by that customer service representative you're always calling.
Erno Rubik invented the Rubiks Cube – he’s got a new game –he calls it "one of the most innovative and exciting puzzles we've developed since the cube, my original design, challenging the solver to use skill, dexterity and logic."

What’s in a name?
The medal winning Olympic skier, Picabu Street
is not just an athlete; she is a nurse.
She currently works in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a large South African hospital.
She is not permitted to answer the telephone while she is at work,
It simply caused too much confusion when she would answer the phone and say:
“Picabu, ICU

The Cat Didn't see his Shadow ..
There is a big difference between a groundhog and Jeff Rogstad - A groundhog can't screw up a five-day forecast.
If Wharton Willie sees his shadow, it means 3 more hockey teams will be sold to Americans.
• In Afghanistan: If Osama bin Laden sees his shadow, he'll shoot it
... Not to be confused with Hound Dog Day -- when Elvis returns to Capistrano.
This morning they’ll make the 122nd trek to Gobbler’s Knob…. The gates open at 3 a.m. and then Phil makes his prediction at approximately 7:25 a.m. (EST)….they always do it at 7:25 in the morning… because they’ll all been drinking since 3 a.m.
Wiarton Willie will make his prediction at about 8:15 a.m. (EST) this morning…..about 50 minutes after Punxsutawney Phil.
Shubana-cadie Sam in Nova Scotia, Wiarton Willie in Ontario, Brandon Bob, Nanaimo Ned and Alberta’s Balzac Billie…..and don’t forget Toronto Tom….. if Toronto Tom sees his shadow… six more years of the Leafs not winning the cup…. … Tom always sees his shadow.
Tomorrow is the 13th annual Toque Tuesday….a day to wear a toque to help raise money for homeless people in this country…and you can get more information at http://www.raisingtheroof.org/ …..it’s been cold what do we care if we just switch hats for the day.
Have you figured out what your going to do with your hose yet - Up to 10,000 you get 15% of that; that was the buzz yesterday – if you own a lumberyard that’s a pretty good incentive in the budget.
-home renovation tax credit up to $1,350 bucks for work done by February 2010….they expect 4 million Canadians will take advantage of that at a cost of $3 billion
Valentine’s Day is coming and according to the National Retail Council spending on Valentine’s Day will be up this year with men spending an average of $165 bucks…..
The Toronto Maple Leafs paid tribute to Doug Gilmore on the weekend….the guy known as Killer is just another in a long line great captains who are remembered for….. not winning a Stanley Cup

Brad Pitt’s movie, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” picked up 13 Oscar nominations. The night of the awards, Brad plans to recreate the movie, going from 13 nominations to walking away empty-handed.

Happy New Year ! - a Challenging 2009 ahead
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.
KNIEVEL GOES TO VEGAS _ Robbie Knievel, the 46-year-old son of the late daredevil Evel Knievel, will jump the fire-spewing volcano at The Mirage hotel-casino in Las Vegas on a motorcycle as part of a television special on New Year's Eve.
Predictions for 2009 -
New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia will have to decide either to join a sovereign Quebec or move to the Northwest Territories.
As aging continues to spread in, Cher's largest tattoo will get 20% larger.
Televised sessions of Parliament will be moved to The Comedy Channel.
The Rubik’s Cube will experience a comeback after Jim Carrey solves one on "The Tonight Show" with his lips.... and The National Hockey League will discourage fighting by making the players pay their own dental bills.
Scientists have found a hole in Earth's magnetic field, it’s called Wall Street
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.
