A Sense of Place, and Some Self-Indulgence
Everyone has, or needs a sense of place. Something that grounds us to the earth, to the world around us. Many of us shuffle through the world, not really grasping how important place needs to be. Home to me, no matter where I am, will always be Roblin. It is where my roots are, and…

Sealift 2005
The sealift ship arrived Tuesday last. The Umiavut, owned by Nunavut Eastern Arctic Shipping, arrived around 2:00 pm and the first of the sealift hit the shore around 4:00 pm. I had wanted to get some photos of the hustle and bustle of the unloading, and the crates piled up at the shore, however I…

The Trouble with Opinions
The trouble (and the beauty, I suppose) with opinions is that everyone has one. This rambling post sort of got started yesterday while I was visiting some blogs I love, and following links afterwards. After reading a short comment on Intelligent Design that some anonymous surfer left behind on a friends post, I fired off…
