And the latest member of the family of web sites maintained by yours truly is that of the Pituvik Landholding Corporation of Inukjuak, Nunavik, Quebec. Check out the photos including the ones under the "Community" section and you'll see why I keep heading north. Of course, Manitoulin scenery is fantastic also but there is just something about the Barren Lands of the Arctic and the tundra that appeals to me.
Since we seem to be on a wildlife theme lately, did I ever tell you that they call me “Aivik” in many of the Inuit communities? I have no idea why.
I’ve also been mistaken for Wilfred Brimley, “Mr. Oatmeal” occasionally and was once even asked what my favourite movie had been.
Once again, in a location (Inukjuak) that regularly has polar bears wandering around... I missed it! A decent sized bear wandered through town the other morning while I was pouring my first coffee of the day. (Well, actually he only made it half way through.) Anyway, it seemed strange that there were so many other people up and about so early but it never occurred to me that Nanook might be around. Oh well, a polar bear sighting outside of a zoo still evades me but I'll probably stumble into one when I'm walking home with an armload of groceries some night.
