EvilGentleman: dirana1, thank you for commenting. I can respect your opinions and your insight into the prison is a welcome bit of education for the rest of us. I am certain you know a lot more......

And in the Arctic, I had whole years where the highest temperature was 19. I...... EvilGentleman: I was living in the Arctic when the restaurant burned down, but I will always remember it.

Quote from anon. who wants: "Interesting notes on Norweigan foods. Can someone explain Akevitt; krumkaka; sandbachels and rosettes? Visiting Norway this February '07. Oslo to Kirkenes, to have......

One of my closest friends here is the son of a Schindler Jew, is proud of his father, and...... EvilGentleman: I still laugh when I hear Montrealers referring to the ski hills an hour to the North as "Up North", when the phrase always makes me think of my old homes in the Arctic. To...... anon (cpe-72-129-0-54.socal.res.rr.com): Interesting notes on Norweigian foods. Can someone explain Akevitt; krumkaka; sandbachels and rosettes? Visiting Norway this February '07. Oslo to Kirkenes, to have a little Arctic adventure. Great experience for a Southern California gal!... EvilGentleman: arcticmohawk@gmail.com... EvilGentleman: I saw this post the day it was first posted, and had not looked back it till today. What a lot of comments about stolen bikes in the Toronto area! Incredible.
Reminds me of this guy...... EvilGentleman: The brick figures greatly remind me of Inuit [[wiki:Inuksuit]], of which I have seen many in the Arctic.... EvilGentleman: We have both tended to focus on the area of downtown near Guy-Concordia metro, probably due to our being Concordia students. I also hang around with the native crowd in the west end of downtown,...... EvilGentleman: Still getting the hang of it, CartLegger. If you also are party of the Google Earth Community, I have added a few placemarks there under the name of Arcticmohawk.
No problem, Cinic. As far as the...... EvilGentleman: Will do, CE. Just so you know, I leave for the Arctic tomorrow, and I return on Friday, so if I do not respond to an email promptly, that may be why. Weather forecasts look...... Where will the smokers end up?: It has been a few months since the bill 112 came into effect in Québec and I have to say that I do not see how ¨Québec is breathing any easier¨as the government funded propaganda...... EvilGentleman: Welcome to my jungle, Chris! Hope to bump into you soon. You can email me at arcticmohawk@gmail.com if you wanna try and establish a quicker form of communication or arrange a time to drop by...... nameltneGlivE: I especially love the warped cop car. Someone has a lot of potential.
As far as having difficulty finding material, imagine living in the same arctic village for 6 years. Awesome as the scenery is, without...... EvilGentleman: In the interests of the preservation of the prevalent pedanticism which we have been previously predisposed to possessing, I should perhaps politely point out that "Antarctica" has a "c" in it, positioned between the "r"...... aer suzuki: it's not every man who knows how to accessorize for the arctic...... EvilGentleman: Since the Ring of Fire surrounds the Pacific Ocean, could it not be said that the western cordillera region (of which the Coast/Cascades and Rockies are both part of) is in fact a part of...... EvilGentleman: I have never used a sunset filter. Do they usually change the colours that much? I have an auto-focus point-and-shoot, so the only filtering I can do is to experiment by pointing my camera at...... EvilGentleman: And my arctic photos are so remote, that even rural does not work to describe them.
aer: I figured as much. Thanks.... Sabriel: Arctic fox rox... EvilGentleman: Well, I can tell you, a number of the creatures in the zoo are quite delicious. I never tried snake either, but my father had to as part of his military training, and he did...... EvilGentleman: Yeeesh, the things I do when I am on hold. I must first correct my first comment in this article. The Voyagers are space probes, not satellites. Sorry about that. Now, on to the serious...... EvilGentleman: The State of Utah is trafficking in salty water. They have had help from alien intelligence to build giant drains in the bottom of the Dead Sea and the Aral Sea and siphon the water...... EvilGentleman: I find the quote from the landscaper near the lake of, "We can't afford to let this nature go." to be quite hilarious. The **sinkhole** is nature, not the artificial preservation of the lake. But...... EvilGentleman: LMAO, there I was, scratching my head, thinking "Ok, I've heard of NORAD's DEW Line in the Arctic, NORAD's Mid-Canada Line that stretched across the boreal forests of Canada's middle, but what the heck is...... EvilGentleman: Sorry to disagree, Chris, but post offices are still allowed in stores. Most Arctic communities have their {Canada Post} franchises located within general stores. When I first moved to {Coral Harbour}, Nunavut in 1992, the...... EvilGentleman: The river seems to be either Trout Creek or the Kennebecasis River. I would imagine it is most likely Trout Creek. Maybe you can find out more at [[http://www.sussexcorner.com/]] I only took a quick look...... EvilGentleman: I am surprised at how much of my weather training has been forgotten in the seven years since I last worked at the weather station. I guess that is why they made us work a......

EvilGentleman: **sigh** grumpy and impatient, or caring and understanding, I'm still the same guy. I dunno what's up with me lately, I seem to be losing my patience whenever something annoys me. I asked Arcticwoman about...... EvilGentleman: chiamattt (I think I finally got 3 t's in there this time!), if that idea of yours could become a reality, I think I would definitely support it. You definitely got my mind going with...... EvilGentleman: Actually, the driver is a woman. They seem to be a couple touring together. But when we saw this in front of us, it was lucky that Arcticwoman was able to grab my camera and...... EvilGentleman: Hmmm, I stand corrected. I just did a wiki search on Woolworth's, and was surprised to learn that Woolco Canada was bought out by Wal-Mart in 1994. I had thought it was earlier. I guess...... Elicar: Last two sentences, I could have not said better!
No EvilG, I don't have any training. However, I like all things of beauty. I post what I like to be appreciated by like-minded people. I do...... EvilGentleman: Maybe he's an Antarctican. They have no trees, so it would make sense.... EvilGentleman: The first pic is on Rene Levesque Boulevard (Dorchester to **true** Montrealers) looking west past Place Ville Marie.
Second pic is Place Ville Marie, which was the tallest building in Montreal for 25 years starting in...... EvilGentleman: elaine, I love the way you phrased that, how it is natural to experiment using the style of others as a point of departure towards finding your own style. I know my style for shooting...... EvilGentleman: Sorry to tell you this, but I have lived in Hell (the Arctic on a **really** bad day), and it's frigging cold! Frozen over is putting it lightly.... EvilGentleman: There! All my babelfishing-related stuff was reposted on [[http://arcticwarrior.blogspot.com/]]... EvilGentleman: Considering the fact that this frozen spectacle was later reported by the NY Post to be a rabbit, one can only assume that the Post reporter either witnessed the block of ice at a later...... chiamattt: jeeff: population density is so high in Japan and Korea that Health Care costs, such as routine checks and ambulance rides are quite cheap compared to what they cost in the U.S and Canada.
Could...... Stevo: hool has a point, but no one is complaining
about the wonderful arctic pictures.
How about people who put down stuff on the
checkout treadmill or whatever it's called and
then run...... hool: EvilGentleman - relax, it's not a big deal. i understand peter's rebuttal. your posts like this one have been good in encouraging response. i felt this one's particular topic was starting to...... a'la: EvilG, for what its worth, yr posts are among my favourite ones here, and thats saying alot! Keep it up! I dont think Hool meant any offense. I think he just takes the editering (sp?)...... EvilGentleman: Sorry, hool. From what I have seen, I have been encouraged by a large group of the regulars here, including the other 4 of your fellow editors. I shall try to keep your wishes in...... EvilGentleman: I have to relearn my parallel parking skills. I was in the Arctic for so long, I can barely remember what pavement is, never mind parallel parking...

[[http://www.arcticphoto.co.uk/supergal/ba/ba92/ba92.htm#ba9276-28]]... EvilGentleman: Yes, sine, it is most unfortunate that global warming is destroying this fragile ecosystem at an alarming rate. I have heard that the rate of global warming is over 6 times faster in the polar...... EvilGentleman: While it may have been brown in colour, I believe you probably saw a black bear. I am definitely no expert on bears, but the way I understand it, brown bears are native to the......

When I look back and reflect upon my time spent in the remote nothern areas of this country, I find that I generally loved it, but sometimes...... EvilGentleman: Um, Barry... I could not decipher what you meant to ask, sorry. Near as I understood your question, you want to know if they exist in NY state? Or are you telling me you caught...... SSRS: On the island of Spitzbergen, part of Svalbard located in the Arctic Ocean, 640 km N of the Norwegian mainland and between lat. 74°N and 81°N.
