I Paid a Thousand Bucks for This?


The slave is rebelling, reclining on the sofa, whipped by the rain, the cold, a gigantic muskibou burger with sweet potato frites and a nightcap at Le Frolic.
Here's a self-portrait, taken on yet another blustery walk on Frame Lake Trail, after a writing session over coffee at Javaroma.
The 10 degree forecast for today was a record-setting temp for Yk at this time of year. Normal is around 20 degrees. Environment Canada meteorologist Dave Phillips said on the morning show that we should see more seasonable temps in five days.
However, some Yellowknifers say this could be the beginning of the end. It feels like November in Nova Scotia.
When we had dinner at Our Place last night, space heaters were plugged in all over the restaurant, while the air conditionning was on full blast. Not exactly a model of energy efficiency.
