Grass and gas!

Who knew that grass could grow so high?! Marylou and I took a walk through the grasses at Connor Park this morning before we left Moose Jaw. Being almost 6 feet tall, she could see over the top! At my height, I was spitting out grass seed as we travelled along. Fortunately, the morning dew had caused a lot of the grass to fall over. Unfortunately, we were dew-soaked by the end!

Leaving Moose Jaw, we decided to fill the gas tank "later". After 2 1/2 hours on the road, with nothing in sight but endless highway and farm fields, we were running on air as we pulled into a little 2 pump station in the middle of nowhere. Because we were still in Saskatchewan, where gas is more expensive than in Alberta, we only put $30 into the tank. Once again, 2 1/2 hours later, we were running on air as we pulled into Strathmore. The car was almost gasping after two close calls in one day!!
