One degree of separation

A month ago, not many people I know had ever heard of a small town called Kipling, Saskatchewan. It became a recognized destination courtesy of the internet when a guy from Montreal ended up finishing his year-long quest to trade a red paperclip for a house. Now, less than a month later, Kipling has remarkably made it's name back into the headlines. Peter Whitmore, a convicted sex offender holding two young boys hostage, was tracked to a farmhouse near (you guessed it) Kipling, Saskatchewan.

Ain't it a small world!
