Many of you think I’m dead or got lost on route somewhere. The second one is mostly true. I don’t know where I was heading, but somewhere along the way I find myself in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
As I was starting to feel sorry for myself, long for a developing country, and for the types of things I would get to write about there, I realized something. So many of those issues I want to write about are here. And as soon as I stop churning out three-plus stories on SPCA walk-a-pet-a-thons and lunchtime nutrition for back to school I will delve into them.
A few observations I have made since arriving here a little over two weeks ago:
- There is more racism here then I ever saw or experienced in Uganda – EVER!
- As many as 22 per cent of the population doesn’t make enough money to feed themselves or their families
- Injection drug use is high and therefore so is HIV
- Prince Albert sits on the edge of nothingness

Glad you are back Angela, I did not realize you were off to good ole Saskabush! Are you going to school there for something or working at a paper? At any rate I look forward to more info. Your information you just put up here is quite interesting and yet not surprising in the least. I enjoy reading your comments on the books you have read or are reading.
Blessings, Linda
