ALSO SIDE NOTE-- thank you to those of you who have expressed concern about my alcohol intake, some going as far as trying to find ways to send liquor to me (thanks Patrick). FYI- turns out this would be illegal, as I need a license to be in posession of alcohol. The dry-spell continues...

Hello there!!!
So over the past week or so I hitched a ride on a dog-sled, watched some ice-fishing in action and finally got in my first beach run! (Yet I have no pictures of these awesome events...)
Yesterday was the first time that I was actually able to smell salt water at the beach, so the ice is melting :D
Anways, here are a few pics (that are out of order...) I have a few more that I would like to put up, but I have neither the patience nor... the patience.
So you can tell spring is nearly here, as the quads are emerging from below the snow...
(also, here, they call them "hondas" or "machines" when I say "quad" or "ATV", people just look at me blankly...)
Below are a couple pics from last weekend, the first is a pic from the outside of town. A lot of that snow is gone now, just one week later. Also, the other is supposed to be a picture of one of the first gulls to make it up here this season, which has major historical and cultural significance, as the first gull means the coming of spring! (there are now tons of gulls, I went to the dump yesterday and now I know where they all hang out... haha)
When I was still staying at the other apartment, there was a fire emergency. So naturally the whole department arrived (it's two guys with an axe. that's it.)
We went on a beautiful walk out on the Hudson Bay. This is the "ice road"-- this road is more dependable and durable than any of the roads in town.
This is the barge that didn't make it out in time in the fall. When the ice finally starts to break, it will head south will all the goods it was meant to bring there many months ago...
So sorry that these weren't the best photos and that there weren't too many, and that they were all from different days... but it take soooo long to upload them... I'll try to do a better job of choosing pics next time!
Anyways, hope all is well, and for my law peeps, I'll post later about my "legal experience" in the last few weeks later on this week, check back if you're interested.
