The Journal ends with a post in July 2007. I left Moose Factory in early August 2008.
By the summer of 2007 I had settled into a routine at Moose Factory. There was less that was ‘new’ to write about. My perspective was changing. And I was busy. I just didn’t feel like writing.
Here is where I leave the Journal, then. Some day perhaps I’ll return to it and try to learn from it. For now, it stands as is.
I was in the local Northern Store this morning — one of the few places on The Island that is well air-conditioned — and therefore, comfortable. The locals proudly announced to me that yesterday (Wednesday, 13 June 2007) we were the hottest place in all of North America!
Well, the temps DID get WELL into the 90’s yesterday. Nobody did nothing. It was too hot to move. Last night we chilled to 75 degrees. Today we’re supposed to fry again. It’s well into the 80’s now (at 11:30 AM).
The coming weekend will be cooler, I’m told. Let’s hope so!
Pouring oil on troubled waters. Apologies and promises: ONR letter of 15 May 2007
All is quiet on The Island, for the moment, concerning train service and other modes of transportation.
I still can’t figure out when I’ll be able to leave for summer holidays. There is no information (that I trust) on a summer schedule.
