Good Morning #Canada
When I'm working on a #TravelCanada post I sometimes realize that I don't give Saskatchewan a lot of attention. I apologize to the Saskies in my audience. To celebrate the province's 121st anniversary of joining Canada (Sept 1st, 1905), here are 3 #ProvincialParks that are hidden gems. Remember, when you're taking the grids it's local courtesy to wave or nod as you drive by.3 Saskatchewan regional parks - CBC News

Apparently it's International Bacon Day - not to be confused with Bacon Lovers Day (August 20th) or National Bacon Day (December 20th). And you are only allowed to celebrate with #Bacon, not Back Bacon or Peameal Bacon. Follow the rules and no one gets hurt.
Here's a public service announcement from the Canadian Pork Council explaining why reducing our meat intake is unhealthy. I trust them...How much meat do we eat?

Yesterday's post on Skyscrapers elicited a response from @wordstitcher asking if a list of old Post Office buildings existed. I couldn't find one but did discover the Heritage Railway Station Act that has saved 150+ stations across Canada. Many are unique "Chateau" styled buildings that are still in use or have been repurposed as libraries or community centres.#CanadaIsAwesome #Architecture #History

Something new I learned today as I sipped my coffee and looked for a topic for today's post. Bartholemew William Barclay "Bat" Masterson, a famous buffalo hunter, civilian scout, and Indian fighter, gunfighter and sheriff in Dodge City, Kansas, was Canadian! Born November 26, 1853 in Henryville Quebec but he moved to the Western frontier as a young man and quickly made his place in history.#CanadaIsAwesome #WildWest #Gunslingers

Good Morning #Canada
Today is National Mulligan Day, a "holiday" that gives everyone permission to take a mulligan or a #DoOver in their life. The term mulligan comes from golf and is thought to have originated in the 1930s with Canadian golfer David Mulligan.
I'm golfing with my brother today, the same brother I left on a street with his hockey bag when I forgot to pick him up for our weekly pick up game 30 years ago. I wish I could do that over.
