@JeremySimes Surely you mean “grilled,” not “drilled.”

[Will Chabun @atlargewc]

@Melnychuk86 Small world! I just re-watched The Pacific.

@avspacemuseum Hawker Sea Fury of the RCN

@ProvArchivesSK To paraphrase comedian Lorne Elliott, “driving across Saskatchewan and saying it’s flat it’s like taking the subway across Toronto and saying it’s dark.“

@TDellerCBC @MMandryk I shall share with you the advice I got when I retired almost 6 years ago: have a daily schedule, learn how to say no to the inevitable army of people who want you to join their club and don’t commit to anything for one full year.

[Will Chabun @atlargewc]

@TDellerCBC Your work and your wit have always so appreciated by this old hack.

@KBBasement Any interview question that begins, “Tell me about…”

[Will Chabun @atlargewc]

@mblairYQR Mitchell, do you mean to say “get better coach“ or “get better, coach“?

[Will Chabun @atlargewc]

@mblairYQR @jamienye Mason Fine has the potential for greatness, IMHO.

[Will Chabun @atlargewc]

@mhmavericks @wcbleague @ReginaRedSox Need updated score

[Will Chabun @atlargewc]

@MMandryk @leaderpost FYI, Ralph is coming to town and will do a speaking gig for the Canadian Club on August 17. Details on request.

@mblairYQR An absolutely superior ballpoint pen? Try the Fisher Space Pen. I’ve been using them for almost 40 years and still love them. All you need is a refill as it is designed to fit most pens. Staples sells them.

@Safimod You’re correct. There was a nice atmosphere in the stands and the attendance, all things considered, was reasonably good.

[Will Chabun @atlargewc]

@CarlaBeckSK Are you absolutely sure about that? I believe Germany had a medical insurance program under Chancellor Bismarck in the late 1800s.

All you people out taking photos in canola fields have permission and are wearing plastic booties for bio security, right? #smh

@mblairYQR Odd that neither of the underpass’es on Lewvan Drive ever has trouble. Perhaps it is because they have pumps built more recently than 1911.

Don't often brag, but saved my block from flooding alongside my crusty contractor neighbour Rick. Barehand pulled the storm drains out, set up pylons, and Rick said "aren't you some sort of politician? Never seen one do that".

We're now best friends.

@Melnychuk86 If you ever watch the 1972 Alfred Hitchcock movie Frenzy, the male lead actor is the guy who was “talked up“ to replace Connery, but didn’t get the gig because he had a serious medical problem.

[Will Chabun @atlargewc]

@Melnychuk86 Agreed. George Lazenby was a pretty odd duck.
