Yes, I'm back home for a visit, and I thought I'd do another photo essay of my town. Selkirk gets kind of a bad rap. I've heard it referred to as a "Scuzz Town". Well, every town has its less than perfect qualities, and even if Selkirk is a little rough around the edges, I love it, in all its pot holed, red-necked, Crime Stopper footage glory.

| I used to go down this back lane when I'd go over to Pam Stewart's house to play Jello Tree Farm. I tried to get a picture our our old backyard, mom, but there was some guy peeing up against our old garage. I didn't like to disturb him. |

| Selkirk Bridge |
 |
| I've never been inside. |
 |
| I'm thinking of doing a photo essay of all the discarded beverage containers along the main street here in Selkirk, but I don't think there's enough space in the internet to accommodate it. |
 |
| No parking here, bitch. Just for emphasis. |
 |
| You can't really tell, but that's a kid shovelling snow wearing shorts. It's -12 Celcius. Only in Manitoba! |
 |
| A puddle or a massive pothole? Only one way to find out. |
