Trapped
One of the current incidents happening in the news up here these days is the two hundred or so Narwhal trapped in the ice near Pond Inlet, the decision to cull them, and the hew and cry over the cull. Darcy has already posted on this issue. Narwhal, and for the matter the other Arctic…

Sure is neat in here… (Part 2)
Link to Part 1 When we got to the apartments there was a small crowd gathered near one end of the complex. As I got out a young man named Darren ran up to me, holding his hand. "Kines, this guy stabbed me" were the first words out of his mouth as he thrust his…

Sundog Triptych
I've been feeling guilty about the people who have been visiting the House from the Canadian Blogging Awards expecting to see a photoblog here, and decided that I had better at least get one picture up. Trouble is, I've not seen anything to inspire me and light is at a premium these sunless days. I…

The Canadian Blog Awards
Voting in the first round of the Canadian Blog Awards started today. The top five in each category will go on to the second round of voting. I've said in the past, and I do believe, that the value in these types of awards is two fold. First of all, it exposes your blog to…

Home again, home again
This will be short, as I've got things I'd rather be doing after being away from my family for a week. Two short items. First, I thought perhaps it was a fluke that my "breakfast" (muffin, apple sauce, cheese and crackers) was served frozen on my First Air flight south. But no, that is apparently…

Sure is neat in here…
La Ronge was an extremely busy place to be an RCMP member. For at least one of the years I was there it was the busiest police jurisdiction in Canada in terms of Criminal Code charges per member. Even at that there were days that just rose above it all. Early one Saturday morning, after…

We’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse.
I probably don't say it often enough, but if you don't already you really should visit the inestimable Townie Bastard on a regular basis. I spent the evening with the genial author of this great blog, Craig and his wife Cathy, and enjoyed every moment of it. Although we've never met until this week, I…

This bread we break
Eating the foods we love, or enjoy shouldn't kill us. And I'm not talking about the slow death from that extra pat of butter, but something a little more direct. A little. Jayko died a little more than a week ago, and was buried yesterday. This past weekend when I called home I received some…

How to make a guy feel welcome
What a nice place, they even have Ravens soaring outside my windows to make me feel welcome.
