The power of social media. So on Sunday I posted a photo here, and on an instagram story, of the drum I hauled out to the cabin by ATV. I wrote that it was destined to be the tank for our heating fuel there.

A fellow from Iqaluit (we both follow each other) saw it and reached out with a warning that the barrel will let UV rays through causing the fuel to varnish and gum up the system. As he has it happen to him.

Back out today to recover the drum. Luckily I can return it.

Spoken like a true old guy Jim Barker. One with a history of misogyny.

I think I need to expand this. First of all context. This is the 3 Down Nation article on Jim Barker’s comments.

https://3downnation.com/2024/05/13/tsn-panellist-ex-gm-jim-barker-says-cfl-staffers-should-be-fined-for-criticizing-argos-handling-of-chad-kelly/

So Barker, for one thing, compared his criticism of a schedule placed on the same level as women in the league wanting a safe and harassment free work place on the same level. He believes that them wanting their employer and their employer’s regulator to do better is unwarranted.

Make no mistake that Jim Barker sides with Chad Kelly (and is complicit in the Argos’ mishandling of the harassment) and that women don’t have a place in the league and that the league, and the Argos, should be 2/

free from criticism by people in their employee. On issues of workplace safety.

Compare that Mike O’Shea’s comment when asked about Kelly, when he basically said “why are asking me? Ask women how they feel.”

Barker is a dinosaur and would do well to send him into the sunset. 3/3

If you saw my post with the stamp of the rock form known as “The Pants”, here is a photo of a Polar Bear dwarfed by it, seen through its legs. I had the wrong lens on and couldn’t get a photo of the entire formation and bear.

Quick trip out to the cabin to take out a drum for a heating oil tank. And some nails. Cold wind.

You know, I absolutely don’t mind that it was too bright for the Aurora. I’m relishing the pure joy of so many folks posting about their experience overnight. Often from people who have never seen the Aurora. It is all so joyful. This amazing, dazzling world.

@wa7iut It’s funny but I’ve never heard anyone here compare it to an inuksuk. Always “the pants”.

Perhaps because inuksuit are meant to be visible and this formation is easily missed from the sea ice/ocean.

So, this was released today. My third stamp with Canada Post. Qarlinngua (The pants). And technically my second stamp with a family member in it, as the tiny figure in it is my son Travis. Now for one with Hilary in it.

I’ve very proud of all of these, beyond the cache. They are about my home, and family. And also my family has a long history with the Post Office, 101 years. My grandfather, father, and brother were all postmasters in Roblin.

@Unknowable it’s long been a plan to do a time lapse there. Logistics and many bear in the area make it a challenge.
