Great excerpt from @melissamartin from @winnipegfreepress — The joke is John Ford ordered this rain. The joke is the deluge, which soaked the Whiteshell all day, is a deliberate tribulation. The joke is this indignity, like all the other competitors will face in the Swamp Donkey Adventure Race, was put in their path just to test them. That’s what race co-director Ford wants racers to feel, anyway. He covets their blame. When they have plunged 50 kilometres through the brush and their ankles are filthy with sludge, he wants them to clench their jaws and fight through the pain. In those moments, Ford hopes, racers will think about him and fellow Swamp Donkey boss Rick Shone, and he hopes they will curse him.

@WildernessSupply store on Isabel Street closed shop Friday and left a voice mail for anyone confused enough to call and ask why. That message, along with one posted on Facebook, explains staff would be volunteering at the Main Street Project... Good On Ya @wildernesssupply !!
