Midnight at the Oasis
Although blurry from Camera shake, this photo will give you an idea of how much light we have right now. Although we’re more than a couple of weeks away from 24 hour sun we pretty much have 24 hour light now. This photo was taken a few minutes ago at midnight, and although the sky…

Okay. He’s definitely shooting at me, do I know this guy? Part three.
Link to Part one. A day or two before the incident we had a complaint about the theft of a couple of rifles and shotguns, so when a call came in about shooting in the bush off the cutline behind the office, we immediately thought it was someone with the stolen guns. James and I…

Nunavut Quest Dog race
Today is the start of the Nunavut Quest dog team race, it’s eighth year. The original race was conceived to celebrate the establishment of Nunavut and to promote inuit culture and traditional skills. For those of you familiar with the Ididerod and other western style races you wouldn’t recognize this one. For one thing inuit…

Okay. He’s definitely shooting at me, do I know this guy? Part two
Link to page one. Several times in my career, despite my belief that I held my own personal safety as my highest priority, I made some really dumb decisions. Now I firmly believe that whenever I came to those decisions they made perfect sense and it was only after events unfolded, or even after they…

Okay. He’s definitely shooting at me, do I know this guy? Part one
The first time I was shot at I wasn’t yet a member. I was hunting deer on my Uncle’s farm, and had been still hunting alone along the slope of a step in the valley. Mid November there were not any leaves on the poplars I was working my way through. Just down from the…

A grand Grand Opening
We had our official opening last Thursday, for a couple hours in the afternoon. I chained myself to the oven on Wednesday and baked (in addition to feeding clients), cookies, cake, scones, bannock etc. We cleaned and made sure the word got out. We decided to keep it short and simple, an opening prayer (everything…

Legal everywhere – I and the Bird turns 21
One of my all time favourite things to do is browse through bookstores. I’m partial to small independant bookstores, especially those with books stacked this way and that on the shelves, much like my shelves. But give me any bookstore… even the mega stores (okay it is nice being able to have a double shade-grown…

The good Raven seal of approval
I’ve decided that the House seems to be a magnet for animals. Of course I’ve mentioned the House Hare, who while he/she doesn’t stay around all of the time, spends a day or so every week here. There were the two wolves that had stopped by this past winter, and the lemming. About a week…

Well we’re movin’ on up.
We spent our first night in the House last night. At long long last. Of course apart from the beds and a few other small things nothing is moved in yet. We’ve still alot of packing and moving to do. So, not that the posts have been coming at a furious rate anyway, posts are…

Fish heads, fish heads Conclusion
After things settled down a bit we still had a lot of foot work to do with the murder and the other investigations that were going on. Once Jasper was safely tucked away in cells after his lawyer left my first priority was to locate the murder weapon. The dog man was already on his…
