Wizard of Oz

Today I made the unbelievable mistake of going to the Bulk Barn on the north end of the Lewvan. There is some construction on the roads resulting in the service road which feeds that power centre to be restricted to one lane. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but the result was a series of line ups of cars throughout the entire centre. It took me 43 minutes to get from starting my car to actually reaching the Lewvan again, which is only a 100 metres away. There are no back or side or alternate exits out of this place. Avoid at all costs.

This evening we all piled into George's truck and went out to a farm near Edenwold (about a 25 minute drive) and watched an outdoor musical performance of "The Wizard of Oz". The singing performances were fairly good. They used a large bright LED screen behind the performers as the changing backgrounds, the storm, and the effects. I admire this as a concept, but the result was actually very distracting. Actors back lit by this screen looked pixelated themselves.
