Life in Inuvik, Northwest Territories

Here I am playing music (on headphones) at 1am, looking outside at the sunlight.

It’s not quite 24-hour day yet, but we’re getting there!

Strange look from this dog, no?

Some ravens looked like they were setting up a nest, flying with bits of scrap. 

Are raven eggs on the way?

The NWT Power Corporation has not charged me one dollar for electricity since December. Instead I get blank bills, which are incomprehensible but don’t request any payment.

It’s apparently some kind of computer error, and they “haven’t forgotten about me.”

Has this happened to anyone else? Please call the CBC station (867) 777-7617, as Loren McGuiness is preparing a news story about it.

The weather is getting nicer in Inuvik, and the ice road to Tuktoyaktuk has been placed on 48-hours notice.

How long before this boat is used on a summer day?

Get your rubber boots on, it’s springtime.

Even wearing a harness, I bet this is scary.

It’s the hot-stepping Qilamik guy! He looks fast and nimble, no?

According to Google, Qilamik means “to be in hurry.”

“Welcome traveller! Approach, but know…all who cross this bridge must answer to the raven troll!”

“I will allow passage…but first you must answer this riddle!“

“What is the food ravens find most delicious?”

“Old pizza boxes from the Roost!! That’s the right answer…carry on…”
