Um, but I’ve already been “it”
Man, I can not believe how far behind I am in reading blogs. I’ve just spent the better part of the afternoon trying, without success I should add, to catch up. I really should have been doing other things but…Kara and Matt of The Adventures of Kara and Matt in Kugluktuk tagged me with a

Test the Nation.
After seeing North of Nain blog about it I decided to take CBC’s Test the Nation. I’m somewhat happy with the results, ending up on the right side of the Bell Curve (I scored a 120). I think I could have done better in the logic, math and perception categories though, as they are usually

Mmmm Chocolate
So, I had a hit on the blog today from someone querying "Lilliebelle Farms on YouTube", and I had to follow the link. Jeff, Belle and Lillie Shepherd are friends of mine, who now live in Oregon, but when I met them ran the best B&B in the world, which happened to be in Kauai.

For your perusal
Here’s a couple of northern blogs that you should take the time to check out. Larry is a friend of mine from Kugluktuk (we bought the Fort Hearne from him), who has been a long time resident of the Arctic. He started blogging this weekend and Larry’s Arctic Blog promises to give you some insight

Well Worth A Visit
Jennifer over at Nunablog has pointed me in the direction of a great blog with strong links to the Arctic. Canadian CKayaker isn’t primarily about the Arctic but Michael, it’s host, lived in Iglulik in the late 60’s and recently returned there for a sea qayaq trip. His stories and photos of Iglulik in 1968

Southern Surprises
It is a bit of curiosity this world wide web thing. Every once in awhile something surprises you and another blog gets added to the side bar. After feeling guilty about blogs that link to mine that I haven’t reciprocated I added a new blogroll of blogs that link to mine, and consequently I’ve been

Coffee break’s over. Everyone back on their head
I’m pretty sure I’ve managed to live without the internet before. And I’m fairly certain that people survived quite nicely without it for thousands of years up here. But having it down up here for almost two weeks has been a major pain in the er, neck. This has really sucked. Not only did we

I’ve been remiss
I haven’t yet made mention of Comet McNaught that has been appearing in our South Eastern Sky during the "day". Both Darcy of Way Way Up and Jennifer of Nunablog have posted on it. The strange thing is that a link on one of the Nunablog posts led me to the discovery of my friend,

Birdman Blog – new to the sidebar
Thanks to that new father, Charlie Moores, I’ve added a new blog to my sidebar. Birdman, the blog of James Wolstencroft, a birder/tour leader from Tanzania. Check out this description of an emergence of flying ants from his latest post Mes Amis – Amurs. "The plain is blanketed by a low-flying mist of ants emerging
