Weather n chicken.

Yesterday morning the men were out a working, the kids were out a running [sports meet].










Not so today, more people out a driving than even a walking let alone a running, and no one a working on the media centre.











The Hopedale team did not do so well in the running event, but the team did win the table tennis gold medal, with Ben Abel/ Winters [who is staying with us] not losing a match.


To expand on Danny D’s some what shallow expressions of concern for the dear people of Torngat Mountains district. I took a little notice of prices of ‘value added’ chicken packages this morning. I will not name the brands, but we did purchase some buffalo wings, 13 pieces for $13.99. Not much else for choice at that store.

At another store the same quantity ranges from $13.29 for no name brand to $16.99 for national brand and to $19.99 for 22 pieces of a national brand.

And just to prove my apolitical ness, I gave the PC candidate short shift when she tried to give me her poster and propaganda this morning. I was not rude, just said I do not want them. Sutiuk was more accommodating and wanted to go out the door with her, fickle women eh?

Jays’s boy, you above all other’s should know that. You batched for many years did you not?
Take chicken, role it round in some spice n other coatings, deep fry it, package, ship. Bingo, sell for 500% or so mark up.
"Value added" is the in industry term of late. Don’t ship your char and scallop out unprocessed, value add it, more work for locals, if it was done here that is.
