Zoomed in

Pretty, smoky, sky. #Nunavut #AfterMidnight

Although I just noticed that the sky/hills appear to be giving someone the finger.

André Proulx is going to André Proulx. #CFL #CFLOM

Lots of smoke here today. Just stop warming the planet please. #Nunavut

Growing up in rural Manitoba we had one tv channel and some shows were staples for our family. Ed Sullivan, Front Page Challenge, and of course, The Tommy Hunter Show. Godspeed Tommy.

Goodnight. #CanadaDay

Back home (again an uncredited photo, sorry). Don’t think there’ll be a train north anytime soon. #RoblinStrong #ClimateChange

My home town (The one I grew up in, not the one I live in now) had had torrential rains since Monday. Wide spread flooding. On the street I grew up every basement is flooded. Some were waist deep this morning.

Growing up tornadoes were unheard of. My grandfather had a photo of one in the 1920s which was, as far as I know the only one for decades. It was talked about for decades. Now they seem to be almost yearly in the area. Monday saw a small one just south of town, and in a town about a half hour south, a larger one that destroyed at least one home.

I’m sorry I don’t have a photo credit for the attached photo but it is a screenshot of a screenshot my sister sent me. It shows the train tracks just north of town. This is the same track you’d take if you headed to The Pas, and eventually to Thompson, Gillam, and Churchill.

FWIW these beams are heavy af. #WorkshopBuild

Having Canada Day fall on a Wednesday is just messing up not having a long weeke… oh yeah, I’m retired. Never mind.

Went to the cabins tonight to do a cleanup. Lots of stuff scattered by the wind including the pan from the fire pit. Wanted to move it so I did, and burnt some wood scraps. #CabinLife #Nunavut

I got teleported to a Weeble House. I wobbled but didn’t fall down.

I got teleported to a Wassail House. Everyone here is drunk.

Can’t believe how many empty seats there are at that Rider game. Grey Cup champions looking to stay on top of the west and a third of the seats don’t have butts in them. #CFL #CFLOM

Most of our flowering plants colonized the north Baffin after the last ice age. As the ice retreated the plants followed it north. But three of our flowers survived the ice age here and reestablished populations. They are Vaux’s Cinquefoil, Pallas Wallflower, and this beauty, Silvery Oxytrope. One of the best places to find it is at our cabin. #Nunavut #CabinLife #Wildflowers

New game arrived. I wonder who inspired it?

Created by some Canadian youth who are deserving of support.
