Ah, how nice it is to live in a civilized part of the country where Remembrance Day is still a holiday, even if it falls on a weekend. It is so nice not to have to go in to school to teach tomorrow. Mind you I'll be in to do some prep and marking. Sunset is now about 1:15, and it begins to darken soon after, so there is not too much one can do outside in the afternoon anyway. It has been very cold here lately with the temperature not rising above -20C for more than a week. Got out for a snowmobile ride with Linda yesterday, and went about 30 km south of here where the locals go to fish for char. They set nets through the ice and bring home lots of fish. They were nice enough to give Linda and me one each. I'm going to try to post two pictures, one of me with Bartholomey and a komatick (sled) full of char. Apparently they got about this much again after we left. The other is of the sunset this afternoon. The air was full of ice crystals and the sun was just a round ball. Very pretty. I've decided to stretch it a bit and add one more pic, of haircutting day in Kugaaruk.
