It's a beautiful evening here in Fort Simpson. I wore my jacket unzipped walking home from work as the air is still a little fresh. I kind of got a chill at work on my lunch as our lunchroom is in the back where the loads get delivered and the big doors were open all day.
So many people in the store today were talking about cooking over their open fires. That sounds so good to me. I love bonfires. I think it must be a relaxing way to spend an evening cooking on a fire. Salmon rolls filled with crab meat were on special this week, two really nice sized rolls for around $5. That's what got people talking about the fires.
Ken wanted to know the price of fuel. I stopped to look at the pumps
on my way home tonight. Right now the price is 1.02 per litre for gas and diesel. Not so bad at all.
The first two pictures above I took tonight. I wanted to show you how much ice is melting on the beach. Once it melts there is a big jut of land that you can walk out into the middle of the river on. Oh, speaking of the river, in the paper last week there was mention of a concern of a community that lives on the Liard River. Apparently several bison drowned in the river, I think from the melting ice, and the residents there were concerned about their water quality. I forgot to ask where our water comes from but I'm guessing we have a mix of Liard River water and Mackenzie River water. I know it doesn't taste that good.
The other picture at the top is of a fire in the backyard of the Pentacostal church. I don't know if they were going to use it for cooking or if they're just burning rubbish.
The last picture is from this morning. I thought it was telling having the snowmobiles on trailers in one driveway and the boats on trailers in the next driveway.
That's all for now. I have tomorrow off so I'll probably go on a walk-about town and show you some of the other side of town.
Talk with you then.....
