The Yellowhead Highway now runs alongside the old Borden Bridge, which crosses the South Saskatchewan River west of Saskatoon. I dropped the boys off with their dad in North Battleford at noon on Friday and headed back in this direction for a Christmas concert in Margo that evening. Eight hours on the road made for a long day but the highway was good; just foggy in places.

Borden is a small town, now in mourning since a woman driving her 15-year-old son and five of his teammates attempted to cross a highway on their way to a basketball tournament on Thursday. The woman's son was killed and everyone else was in serious condition on the day I drove past the community. How quickly one's entire life can change. My heart aches for that mother.

Now Playing: Mary Margaret O'Hara, Year in Song, which makes me get up and dance Every Time (scuse me)
