Wild n wooly weather boy!


Wet windy night, near 2 inches of rain with E to NE winds up to 82 clicks official. Still at it this morning, so no work again on the New Media Centre I would guess, though weather was not the problem yesterday.

The coast Guard ships are a regular sight in the harbor this time of year. She could be in for crew change, working in the area, weather, other reasons.

One time, in the fall, weather used to drive shrimp draggers in, invariably people from town could avail of boxes of shrimp at reasonable prices. Officialdom stepped in and stopped that practice, darn.
The NL Governments “energy plane” is not receiving rage reviews in Labrador sure. I have not come across one positive comment as yet, except of course the Minister from the region. In his previous roles there would have been hell to play with threats of stopping the world if Labrador did not get a fairer shake. My pet name for him back then was “wind sock” [no reference to alternative energy], still like it




In one of Siutik’s rare motionless moments. I was taking some pics of the harbor, turned around and there she was, still, not for long though.

The Internet is as slow as a wet week this morning. Hope it's not my computer, just the weather impact on the micro wave towers.
