• Kudos to dog searchers

  Being a dog lover, I get great satisfaction and feel joy every day from checking into the Facebook page, Winnipeg Lost Dog Alert, where I see total strangers helping out other strangers, in finding their lost dogs. Winnipeggers are amazing and loving people, showing it by helping a person in need or an animal in need.

• Snow job for angels

  I had to drive from Winnipeg Beach to Winnipeg for a doctor’s appointment. It was snowing and I turned off Highway 9 onto a secondary road to get to Highway 8. The turn was a curved yield lane, but because there was so much snow and no tire tracks, I could not see where the road was.
