I would just like to take the time to thank everyone who has followed my blog over the last 3 1/2 years.  I admit that after June 2011, I haven't blogged as much as I would like, but it's nice to know so many of you all over cyberspace have read what I have had to say about issues surrounding Winnipeg, and more.  Cheers!

Welcome to the Purple Rod!

I think it is about time that I created a blog.   Considering naming a blog after a colour of a rod is the latest "craze" in Winnipeg, I am going to call my blog the Purple Rod!  Special thanks to the Black, Orange, Blue, White, and Stiff Rods for inspiration!
