Randall has only been volunteering for 4 years with the WDM, but boy, does he know his stuff!
He’s always problem-solving and making sure the aging mechanics are running smoothly.
He says he’s committed to maintaining the old-style mechanics as long as possible.

Randall also enlightened me about the lore of “Punkinhead: The Sad Little Bear”, who was Eatons’ answer to Rudolph (a creation of Montgomery Ward in the US to drive sales).
You can listen to his theme song here: youtu.be/dsVTlihnpBQ?...

Randall took me behind the scenes of the Christmas displays at the WDM in #YXE, and showed me how they worked.
The Eaton’s “Once Upon a Christmas” display was built in 1948, originally crafted by the Canadian Air Force using spare parts left over from WWII.

Do you have a child attending Queen Elizabeth School in #Saskatoon?
I was tipped off about this ice wall blocking the crosswalk, and I’d love to talk to a parent/teacher/EA about how this is affecting them.

All is quiet on our crescent.
No one shovelling or trying to get out.
Schools being closed and many workplaces closed will mean most folks are staying puts until the city can get out to the residential streets and move some of this snow!

That’s one way of getting around the neighbourhood! 😅
The snow is so deep on the crescent we live on, some folks are using inventive methods to try and pack it down, ahead of the work week!

Before and after!
We are SNOWED IN, in the west end of #Saskatoon ❄️🌨️☃️
Many folks out shovelling and snowblowing their driveways but the main thoroughfares are impassible.
And the snow is STILL coming down! Stay home! 🥶🥶🥶

If you have it in you, I highly recommend this doc on Netflix 😳😳😳 really eye-opening about blind consumerism and the environment.
It’s an easy watch, under an hour and a half, and while it’s lower budget, it’s fascinating information.
