Hello from SK

@CharleyBrown mentions he's east of Yorkton, that could mean almost anywhere like Newfoundland.

Could you be more specific please.
That’s a great question. That question really makes us think about how vast and diverse this country really is. It’s important that, as Canadians, we ask ourselves questions like this…..

I’m in Bredenbury, just outside of Yorkton. I didn’t realize that we had so many Saskies in here, and Yorkton is easier to find on a map.

Born and bred "Saskie" guy here too. But I prefer to think of myself as a Prairie Grass Farm Boy.

I was exiled to Ontario for crimes I never committed. I just want to go home but the prison guard I married won't let me.

I prolly have 10 to 20 years left to my sentence before I can look at that beautiful grass again - from the bottom up, for eternity. Maybe sooner if the warden goes first.
 
After graduation I spent 4 wonderful years out west. But - job, family and life brought me back home to Ontario. Often wonder about ‘what if’ we’d stayed out west. We have much green’r grass here - but mostly figuratively speaking.
