Things You Wouldn't See in BC


I decided to do a little studying and suntanning in the back yard last Sunday since it was such a nice day. I started to get really hot, so I headed over to the shop to grab a beer and on the way back to the deck, much to my surprise, there was a buffalo head sitting in our backyard stairing back at me.



Not just any buffalo head....one that was half face and half skull. I wasn't sure if someone had left it there as a warning, or even worse, if someone that I live with brought this thing home as a decoration!

The latter was true. Only in Alberta!



Last Thursday, on my way to school (which is right downtown) I was surprised to find these little critters. I've never seen a goper in real life before.


They were so cute and there were like 20 of them on the side of this hill right beside my school.



This might look like an ad out of a newspaper from the 1940's, but it was actually in Friday's Metro.

  1. Wow. It's a blog miracle.
    Welcome back to the world wide web Shannon!!

    Actually, it is very important to store your furs correctly. Humidity and high temperatures wreck havoc with your animal carcass clothing. But they do keep you toasty during those 9 months of winter.
