I went around to a friend’s place to borrow a sander. He was having some trouble with his computers. He had his brother on the phone, calling from Europe, trying to fix it.

Finally I had a useful skill to offer in the local informal economy. A couple of hours later he was back up and runing and I was heading home with a gift of moose meat.

We’ll be spending a few years here. Hopefully we’ll get ever more entangled in a web of gift and skill exchange and grow ever fatter on delicious local game.

An attractive fox has built a warren somewhere along the road to the Northern Store. We see him hanging out sometimes, mostly unconcerned about people. Apparently he harasses the dogs 🙂

A cross fox is a colour variant of the common red fox.
