I started writing this when I got back to Saskatoon. I figured I should finish it and post it. Enjoy, lol.

Winnipeg, some call you Winterpeg, or Windypeg, or just… The Peg,
I never confirmed Winter, but I’ll take your word for it.
Your transit system was marginally better than expected,
but still needs to run on time.
You water seemed to kill off filters faster than I could kill off money,
and the color of your water seemed brown to me; which, I’m sure is perfectly healthy.
Every morning was a strange new smell,
either in my apartment, building, outside, bus or all of the above; you are, possibly the smelliest city ever.
People seemed overly suicidal in my neighborhood,
Why don’t they put bars on those windows already?
Your weapon of choice is a knife,
I wonder if they guy outside my building knew that?
I left behind some friends,

Ever since I’ve gotten my new car I’ve been bitchy in matters relating to my car. It all started with the process of agreeing on an amount for the car. They were giving TV’s away for FREE with all car purchases. Simply amazing, but I didn’t really want a $200 TV… So I said, “Give me the value of the tv off the price. I don’t want it.” They whod and hawd about it and said they couldn’t. Again I said, “Look, I can drive to Alberta and buy this car for less or you can give me the value of TV off the price of this car.” Sales guy goes to the manager and comes back with great news… they took $250 off the price of the car. Yay!
