Nice oh warm day yesterday, from +8 to + 28 at the house, + 23 official.

As usual reality bites you in the arse quick up here, cloudy and light rain with temps predicted to be constant at + 6 today.

Couple of anecdotes from last week: Out Zoar at the re burial ceremony.

The gathering had moved from the spot where speeches and such were carried out to the spot where the grave was located. During the re burial ceremony people noticed two black bears in the vicinity. One bear was sitting and observing in the very area just vacated.

Not sure about Inuit but black bears at funerals/burials play a role in Innu mythology.

Then talking to some visitors from Iqaluit, who observed that Nain was decidedly cleaner in general than their home town. They were particularly impressed with the cleanliness and operation of the Northern store and the low level of litter around the streets.

Which is a darn side better than what seems to be going on at the Northmart in Iqaluit.

Goes to show eh?
