Yellowknife outdoor art actually better than most in Vangroover
I’m learning so much about my soon-to-be-adopted home. Here are some wonderfully informative (original typo: “deformative”) videos about being a newcomer to the land of permafrost and muskeg.
“Hi. I’m new here.”
“I’ve decided to stay. Now what?”
NOTED!
Interestingly, the guy in these videos looks not unlike my new boss. Coincidence? Well, if I can hack it in Wiarton, I figure I can hack it in Yellowknife.
Oh, when I was up there I heard a lot of sirens. Being from the DTES I thought nothing of it, but was later informed there are only seven siren-bearing vehicles in the town. They must all have been busy that day.

It’d be a good idea to start banking your blood now.
The date stamp should be: Menu > Settings > Date & Time > Off
Oh yeah. Blackflies and I are old friends. The only thing that outnumbers the inbreds in Wiarton is the blackflies.
