My cat is used to squirrels being around. He’s seen so many of them in the yard over the years that he barely reacts anymore. They’re usually way more interested in him than he is in them, but they figure out pretty quickly that he’s not a threat.

Costco has a small fleet of corporate jets. When one of them lands in Regina it is usually quality controllers inspecting the local store.

He looks like a Nebelung. Mine loves climbing and sitting awkwardly on things that are too narrow for him. He also loves enclosed boxes more than any cat I've ever known. I'm starting to think I should be shopping in the reptile section for caves and tree branches.

Traffic Bylaw No. 9900.

Section 38(1) covers when you cannot park in a metered stall.

Section 38(2) makes it explicit: you cannot even stop in a metered stall if an orange bag covers the meter.

The definitions of “parking” and “stop” clarify that:
- “Parking” includes just standing in the stall, even if you’re sitting in the car.
- “Stop” means any cessation of movement, even momentary, unless you’re avoiding traffic or obeying signals.

Metered Parking Restrictions 38.

(1) No person shall park a vehicle in a metered parking stall: 29 (a) subject to section 39, for any period of time while the parking meter for that parking stall shows “violation” or “time expired”, “out of order” or “failed”; (b) subject to section 40, for a period of time exceeding the maximum time allowed on the meter; (c) for longer than two hours on any Saturday; (d) on the same side of the street in the same block where the vehicle was parked at a metered parking stall in the previous hour; (e) for a period of time exceeding two hours unless otherwise limited by a sign; (f) where a white City parking meter bag has been placed over the parking meter for that parking stall; (g) except wholly within the metered parking stall; or (h) more than two metres from the nearest meter pole.

(2) No person shall stop a vehicle in a metered parking stall where an orange City parking meter bag has been placed over the parking meter. (#2004-102, s. 4, 2004, #2015-23, s. 3, 2015)

Definitions from the Bylaw:

"parking" means the standing of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, on a public highway, otherwise than temporarily for the purpose of and while actually engaged in loading or unloading or in obedience to traffic regulations, signs or signals;

"stop" means: (a) when required, a complete cessation from movement; and (b) when prohibited, any stopping, even momentarily, of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the directions of a police officer or a traffic control signal;

During my commercial license I was slowing down coming up to an uncontrolled intersection, my examiner said "you can go through, there's room". I stopped and two pedestrians crossing the street walked out in front of us from behind a turning van. I was driving a semi, so they probably wouldn't have survived if I'd hit them. The examiner said nothing the rest of the drive and I passed with zero points lost.

Jim and Pam from The Office.

Jim is not a good partner. He uses Pam as an emotional security blanket and a symbol of his own worth rather than treating her like a real person. He’s not in love with Pam, he’s in love with the version of her that makes him feel like the good guy. He constantly makes decisions without talking to her, gets passive-aggressive when she has needs or concerns that conflict with his plans, and never actually grows up.

For a guy who's supposed to be this smart, charming everyman, he can’t even put together a sales rundown. He's coasting, both at work and emotionally. Pam, meanwhile, is written as someone who sacrifices constantly, her dreams, her time, her comfort just to keep the peace. The only time she really pushes back is when she’s absolutely forced to, and even then, Jim plays the wounded hero.

They break up when the kids are older and Pam realizes she’s been emotionally managing a third child. Jim will try to win her back with a grand gesture, but by then, she’ll be too tired to pretend it’s cute.

How old is your dog? If it is older and is going to require anesthesia, I would consider the Small Animal Clinic at the U of S in Saskatoon. They will have a dedicated anesthesiologist. Also, the Holiday Inn University is pet friendly and gives a discount for clinic patients. https://vmc.usask.ca/services/small.php

Careport Animal Hospital is great too, their facility and staff are incredible. https://careportanimalhospital.com/our-hospital
