Lake Agassiz has returned from the dead. I-29 between the border and Pembina, ND still has about 39 centimeters of water covering it.
Manitoba Highway 75 to Winnipeg is closed at Letellier resulting in a scenic detour adding 84 kilometers to the trip to Winnipeg, eh!
I sound so intelligent when I speak metric; eh hosers!
Jean-Claude Johnson, Minister de Agriculture Manitoba announced that the traditional crops; potatoes, sugar beets and wheat will not be planted this spring. Watercress, rice and seaf*ckingweed are the new cash crops. Ooops, sorry about that. I thought I was posting in the "F Word" thread. Stir fry anyone? Chow menu?
Beef and dairy cattle have been trucked out west and are being replaced by catfish, the other white meat. Saukie Pierre, Minister de Fisheries said Friday: "ya we kinda missed the boat with this catfish thing eh, what with Lent passing us over and all dat stuff".
High water and flooding can occur with little or no warning. I implore all expediters to practice the High Water Reaction Drill. Find a lake, swimming pool or other large, deep body of water. Using a tape measure, check and note at what depth water enters the cab and cargo box. Record your findings and store in a cool dry place. Have a U.S. Coast Guard approved P.F.D. on board for every driver and passenger. Don't forget a P.F.D. for your pets. The D.O.T. issues P.F.D. waivers for fish and other aquatic pets.
Thank you Panther for paying me the extra 50 miles I incurred due to flooding!
