Re: Local newspaper stories
Can't they do Maths at that paper?
Rent $2000, goes up to $2500 and it's a 20% increase?
That would mean $400 increase. $500 is a 25% rise.

Small town paper, wouldn't exactly call it world class. This is one of the better ones, the other one is painful to read....

Re: Local newspaper stories
Bob, a middle-aged Canadian tourist on his first time in Lincoln, Nebraska, locates the red light district and enters a large brothel.
So she goes over to Bob and says that she's the best in the house and she is available. She sits and talks with him. They frolic a bit, giggle a bit, and drink a little, and she sits in his lap. And Bob leans forward and whispers in her ear, "Can I pay in Canadian dollars?"
The madam asks him to be seated and sends over a young lady to entertain the client. They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a bit, drink a bit, and she sits on his lap. He whispers in her ear and she gasps and runs away!
Seeing this, the madam sends over a more experienced lady to entertain the gentleman. They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a bit, drink a bit, and she sits on his lap. He whispers in her ear and she screams, No!" and walks quickly away!
The madam is surprised that this ordinary looking man has asked for something so outrageous that her two girls will have nothing to do with it.
She decides that only her most experienced lady, Lola, will do. Lola looks a bit tired, but she has never said no and it doesn't seem likely that anything would surprise her. So the madam sends her over to Bob.
They sit and talk, frolic a little, giggle a bit, drink a bit, and she sits on his lap. He whispers in her ear and she screams, "NO WAY, BUDDY!" smacks him as hard as she can and literally runs away!
Madam is by now absolutely intrigued, having seen nothing like this in all her years of operating a brothel. She hasn't done the bedroom work herself for a long time, but she did it for many years before she got into management. She's sure she has said yes at one time or another to everything a man could possibly ask for. The challenge is irresistible.
She just has to find out what this man has wanted that has made her girls so angry. And she sees a chance she can't pass up to show off to her employees how good she was at what they do.

Traffic re-routed near Swift Current after a semi rollover involving uranium powder. Someone dumped a container of yellowcake on hwy 4 north of Swift yesterday but they cleaned it up and detection equipment is only reading traces.

Re: Local newspaper stories
I see there are some Monty Python fans commenting on the CBC report.
The report seems to have a few contradictions. Maybe I'm taking it too seriously.

Winnipeg Willow, a five-year-old groundhog...
Woodchucks like Willow normally live between four and six years...
Sheila Smith, who worked with Willow for many years, said
"It was so sudden — we're all taking it really hard right now," Smith said. "It was something we were not expecting."

Re: Local newspaper stories
That average age is obviously for ordinary groundhogs and not for those possessing supernatural powers. My condolences to her keepers.
