What does a queen, black flies and the north all have in common?
Answer: It’s Victoria Day weekend in Canada and the pesky flies turn out in this boreal region. The sun and the warmth draws them. Clouds and rain intimidate them. I must keep my mouth closed otherwise swallowing would be painful.
What is painful is seeing the motorists in jet-speed madness. Surely it’s a long weekend. The passions of the traffic speak for themselves. People are cage-bound and closed off from the natural world around them. We spend far too much time in these automobiles. I don’t believe we were meant for the overtime sitting in these shiny coffins.
Darshan Doug had to visit the medical clinic in Ignace for his leg. It cut our walking short but care and attention to those in supportive roles is a priority.
