Having the internet helps with the boredom here for sure. It's nice to have Skype and such to video chat with family. Doesn't seem like we are so far away. Bet you wish you had that in the 70's! I know what you mean about the echoing phone line, it was terrible when I lived in Iqaluit. i don't know if you saw the picture of the moon and Venus I took in a later post, I think you might like that one too! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!Chantalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416022680719767065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9134378735990674474.post-64388015227808637052010-12-25T18:24:13.261-08:002010-12-25T18:24:13.261-08:00Thought I'd make a few short comments.
First,...Thought I'd make a few short comments.<br /><br />First, I'm here by random chance. Clicked from several Blogs beginning from one in Arizona (also where I'm from) ending up here. Actually, it is pretty interesting as I see that social media is everywhere. Even places that one wouldn't expect. I am getting a taste of life way up North. I lived in Anchorage in the late 70's - I've been reminded of a few things I forgot (about the North) I'm glad that you have the internet to the 'outside'. It probably makes the time and isolation less severe. All we had in the 70's was Ham Radio (I'm KB7ZZV) as the means to freely communicate with the world. Our telephone connection to the world was the RCA Alascom satellite. Damn thing echoed severely to the point of being unusable.<br /><br />Let me compliment you on the photos. They catch the character of your surroundings. I forgot the clearness of the air and the brightness of the unfiltered sun hanging on the horizon on a winter's day. Your pictures reminded me of that.<br /><br />You were an electronic tech? That is my profession (since 1972). I guess that I have been fortunate in the profession. Never out of work. I got to travel all over the US as a field engineer then overseas as the same. Success came due to two things - flexibility in learning new things and learning how to program in several languages. I'm close to retirement now. My bride of 35 years & myself are looking forwards to that day.<br /><br />We wish you and your family the best.<br /><br />dgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
