Hippies, Haida, and Headcases

A nice picture of our lovely Naikoon Bakery. Little Zaya is here in front of the museum that has those two magnificent sperm whale jaw bones for an archway. Amazing eh!
Well, the last few days have been eventful. I've managed to be labelled as the guy in the 'hippy' play which kinda makes me laugh. The reviews were amazing. I was told by a gentleman that has seen it performed several times in England that our interpretation was better! We're actually considering a bit of a tour when things calm down, but with all of us in full time professions, it makes it a bit difficult. Alas, in time.
The haida have been in full force too with my lodge training involvement. I've managed to get all of our north crew off to their respective lodges and without major problems. It has been very optimistic to see these students go through as work ethic is non-existent in this area. Unemployment is 80% in the village! Crazy. So, I'm hoping that good things happen with this program.
And the headcase... oh, the headcase... I came home from work last week to find a man I had never met before doing his laundry in my driveway. He had decided to squat on my land and stay in the bus. After about 5 days of trying to convince him that he had to go, he finally did. He was 'waiting for godot' or something. I think that he imagined my landlady being ok with the idea, which she most certainly was not. Once again, a far out situation, in a far out land... Enjoy the rest of the pics.

This is one of my best friends, the communities best friends - Paige. She has converted a bluebird bus into a bakery where she sells all kinds of delectable treats and wonderful coffee. She has also been my source of seedlings that have really taken off in my greenhouse. Sadly she will be leaving at the end of the month and we'll be off to find a new local to chill at. Probably the bakery above. (owned by her mother)

The Kelly Ruth where she landed 6 years ago. Amazing how the seas have really weathered this vessel.

Kind of a sad state of affairs here. Stellar lion about washed up, with no real indication of death. Looks like it was a meal for a few fish on its' way in.

The headless sea lion that washed up on the beach last week. The teeth are very valuable and very cool to have in your posession, so this one was actually decapitated on shore by a chainsaw. Ewwww...

In case you were wondering what the head looked like. This guy was watching us as we wandered on the spit a couple weeks ago.
