Vandal Guards

Sometimes the cure can be worse than the..............nothing bugs me more than vandalism!!!!!

it's the thought that counts?

Hey every so often I throw in a black and white cartoon to see if anyone notices?

...another sign of re-organization

Let the games begin...........

He' trying to unplug the gutter drain!

Well I have been away from town the past ten days and hence no blogging! The water levels on the Yukon/Northern B.C. "the southern lakes" are still high!

from that micro brewery

Hey it is summer and a large number of us really like beer...........my take on micro-brewing!

...when they're 3 minutes from the car...

This really appropriate as this past weekend we were in the central Yukon where temperatures were +29C and I came back with many bites from mosquitoes & or blackflies!

...when the time comes...aim for this side

Hey summer driving always involves trying to keep your windscreen clean! Funny how the bugs always seem to hit the drivers side - this is my theory one that one.

Moving here because we like the weather

Well this might be normal for some coastal parts of the country but it has been very wet for the Yukon these past few weeks! The unusually wet conditions have a lot of people on alert and although we really do not have slugs in the north it does feel like they could survive here. On the flip side we have been harvesting the wild mushrooms a lot earlier than expected and they are very abundent!

I think I preferred water rationing.

For all the people in the south dealing with high temperatures and water shortages! Neither of these are concerns in the Yukon this summer, we have some pretty high water in the southern lakes and the thermometer has not been hitting very high on the scales ( Whitehorse anyways).

Truck should be right about here?

The way it has been raining this past week this cartoon should sum things up pretty well!

NIce quiet weekend

Second attempt at this - as you all know us we really enjoy our camping and this cartoon speaks LOUDLY to that!

This might sound kinda corny....

Hey for all you folks down south where it is hot and getting lots of sun.................

...The sounds of summer

Well there are the days of thunder and the boys of summer..........I give you the "sounds of summer"

...Airport Security!

Those lazy, crazy days of summer travel! Sorry I have not been blogging very regularly this past month or so.....I am in that summer mode also....anyhow, hope any of you flying this summer do not need to go to this extreme to get through security.

Alter Pets to prevent problems

Have been unable to blog for the past week (my schedule, not the service), anyhow - I am not into hurting animals but there are a lot of loose unattended dogs out there and not to mention the cats who like to dump in the flower beds.......................when we talk of fixing this is what comes to mind!

Camping aircraft carrier

In honour of the Canada Day long weekend and to all of us that will be out there camping!

Some are sly

This cartoon does not have any words/punchline and it is one of only a few I have done with out text! Anyhow we are always hearing about bears breaking into vehicles!

Why flag girls now wear coveralls

Yes you can imagine in the old days the scantly clad flag girls did cause a bit of a fuss! Now a days the only fuss is making sure they have the right mosquitoe repellant and politically correct "flag persons", personnally I wouldn't get too excited about a guy in a bikinni!

The skid marks indicate....

Hello everyone, I have tried to post this cartoon a number of times but the file was too large for the last edition of blogger so I hope this one works! This is in honor of my sister who is ending a 30 plus year career with the Canadian Military (she has lived the past year in Yellowknife and I know the snow and ice have been gone for a while now....but this is to remind her not to leave in too big a hurry), anyhow Peggy best of luck in your new endeavors and have a safe journey into semi-retirement in your new challenge.

Don't feed the bears

I just realised I already posted the beaver eating the profits cartoon back in April.....must scan some more so I have new material.

What do you mean...I'd eat up the profits?

Hey big business in the forest industry....they need to watch their staff closely!

...are those salmon or tuna sandwiches?

Hey I have been fishing a lot lately - heck I'll be going today if the weather permits!

Shake it again

I think we all remember catching bee's and putting them in a jar (complete with holes in the lid). Seems like there just does not appear to be as many bee's around this year? Darwin did say if all the bee's disappeared we would last about six months (I wonder if that has been updated since the 1800's?)

Camping season... our favorite time of year

Well this is our favorite time of year, unfortunately the biting bugs like it too! Been getting rain the past week so the bug spray will be needed! Happy Fathers Day to all of you Dads this weekend.

How circus bears got their start?

I was down in northern BC yesterday doing some hydrometric work (Atlin Lake) and on our return we saw a very large grizzley bear (its' rear end as it darted off into the bush) along the side of the road. Thus todays cartoon.
