Hello September

 September has arrived. Fall and the first day of school is around the corner. Alberta and Saskatchewan became provinces on this day in 1905.  Wouldn't it be wild to live in Lloydminster?

End of August

 Geez it's the end of August already. Seems like the whole summer flew by. School here has begun already.  NFL season and hockey season is around the corner. It's raining here at the moment. Still grateful for a shelter, getting to eat and snoozing on a bed. Will keep searching for those U-Haul graphics and license plates.

Some thinking

 It was nice leaving the doctor office knowing I lost 26 pounds. Felt good.  Got thinking of license plate and U-Haul trucks. The truck graphics seen since June 1 is at 14, US plates at 24 and trailers at 22.  I've seen one or two Canadian trailer graphics, all but two plates (Nunavut and Prince Edward Island). And seen all but one truck graphic, that being Prince Edward Island. Canadian ones were easier to remember.
