Blackfly

The 1991 NFB of Canada animated film based on the song of the same title, written and sung by Canadian folk singer Wade Hemsworth about his personal experience surveying in Northern Ontario, with back-up vocals by Kate and Anna McGarrigle. Recently recounted to the field school peeps camping at St.Louis last week.


p.s. Turns out St.Louis has a pretty sweet free camp ground with water, power, and flushing toilets. They also have a giant statue of Bison antiquus (of questionable scale, but still cool).

South Branch open house

Sunday, July 25, 2009 is the South Branch House open house day. All are welcome. Be there or be square! The summer excavations at the late 17oos fur trade post site of SBH are run by the SAS and go from June through July (volunteers welcome! Hint hint!) with the SBH Fieldschool to be held from July 23rd through 26th. Come and view the twisted archaeological riddles that dwell within! Marvel at the meandering southern excavation trench and the stockade wall to nowhere! And two, count 'em TWO, sets of cellar depression/chimney mounds! Amazing!

p.s. There is also a SBH geocache (for the non-muggles among you).

That's right money, your money's money is all that moneys.

Congratulations to little cp on joining the legitimate work force! You beat me, I was 19 when I got my first real people job. Hurray for competency!

p.s. We don't have Starbucks in Rossland but this is the closest I could find :)
