Sad news, pub-related.

I know I don't post here much anymore. But I figured this sad news was of sufficient importance to end my three-month hiatus. Especially to anyone who (a) went to the University of Saskatchewan in the late 1990s, and (b) no longer lives in Saskatoon.

Wednesdays were the best. And Sundays - chess and all you can eat fish-and-chips. And that one waitress who called everyone "Boys!" whether they were 19 or over 70.

It really started to decline over the past few years, but I thought the downtown crowd would keep it alive. But I guess I was wrong.

Many major events in my life occured at, or immediatly after, a night at the Duck, so I am indeed sad to see it go. See you at O'Shea's.

saskatoon made it onto the news here in new zealand last week- a story about people protesting the parlous state of the roads by making a nude calendar, with shots of them posing in the potholes. Is this completely made up or did it actually happen? canada coverage is pretty sparse down in the antipodes.
