I had an interesting discussion with North Battleford-based Liberal leader Ryan Bater the other day.

He said Fall is a busy season. It's maybe the busiest three months in the calendar year. Things are definitely happening. Sports are huge in the fall. Hockey is back. The CFL playoff races heat up, and the NFL season has kicked off.

It would be more than a decade ago now that I listened to speaker Dr. Lowell Catlett, a futurist and economist from New Mexico State University. It was one of those presentations that left a rather lasting mark with a then much younger journalist.

I've noticed the weirdest trend on Facebook lately. More and more of my Facebook friends have been turning into animals. No, I'm serious. Every time I sign into my account, I see that 30 or more of my friends have changed their profile pictures.

The long season that is the NHL year has begun, and while we are nowhere within sight of the spectacular June climax, there are things to keep fans excited. There isn't much excitement in training camp.

It's Sunday morning, and I'm sitting at Carpenter's Inn, Wawota. I'm sipping on the coffee and writing articles. Across at another table, a group of people are discussing the Rider game that took place in Regina yesterday.

Even though the writ has not been dropped yet, Crown corporations and other agencies that have anything to do with the provincial government have been pulling away from anything that resembles public exposure lately.

Sportsnet's Jeff Marek joked on Twitter Monday that Brendan Shanahan could get more air time this season than Vince from the Slap Chop commercial. Heck, at this rate, he could get more air time than Jay Onrait. That's a scary thought.

Green seems to be a favourite colour for many people these days, in that it represents the environment, and a concern for preserving it and taking care of it.

I knew it. I just knew it. I could never prove it and of course, as with most things that bug me, the subject matter wasn't important enough to pursue with hours of research. But now I have facts.
