An American in Saskatchewan

For those who wonder what it would be like to leave everything behind and move to the one of the most stereotypically Canadian parts of Canada.


Scurvy?

Away doing field work in Quebec. Here’s an interesting fact of the day:

Apparently, Captain Cook made alcoholic sugar-based spruce beer during his sea voyages in order to prevent scurvy in his crew.

I have now ingested Quebed spruce beer. Guess I won’t be getting scurvy now.

I got into some sort of intense Fruity Pebbles fight with an imaginary person in my kitchen last night… or at least I hope that’s the explanation for there being Fruity Pebbles EVERYWHERE.

Keep this in mind… moving to a place like Saskatoon might make you lose some, or all, of your mind.

Each Wednesday during our Kickstarter campaign, which runs until the middle of October, we are going to randomly select one of the amazing people who helped share the above video and send them an FToM ♥ care-package. 

We’ll reblog this video each week with an announcement on who snagged a package and a short update on how the campaign is going. If you happened to not be picked at the end of the week, you can reblog to re-enter. xo.

This is my own interpretation of what the Sasquatch looks like.
Extremely accurate depiction, if I do say so myself.

Labour Day fireworks over the South Saskatchewan River. Unfortunately, there were not enough Americans around to fully appreciate things blowing up… With the silence of the Canadians in awe of the beauty, interruptions of “YES! Fire! Explosions! WOOO!!” seemed almost uncalled for.
