Mel writes about birds and posts a few pics.

Eric is also writing a post at this moment. I'm just annoyed at IP providers and should be sewing. I recently got a commission for 10-20 plush daggers-- they have to be there by the 8th. I just got a sewing machine. I accidentally named it The Raven.



Speaking of ravens. I didn't take any photos of them (this is Eric pic), but they are all over the place. On the Alaska Highway norther BC or southern Yukon we saw two of them on the side of the road and after hitting a bird in North Dakota we were a little nervous of the birds there. It looked like one of them was fumbling with trash. When they flew away we saw that it had a plastic bag in its bill-- filled with crackers. "humans, get the loot let's get out of here."


(above)This is my first sighting of a magpie. They are related to crows, but I think they are adorable.

Oh, on the Alaska Highway in Yukon I saw a bald eagle. I know, though Alaska has the most bald eagles in the States. It's too bad though that the Chickadees in Alaska are having problems now. (probably a contaminant.)





(above) Cleveland has some neat things.


(above)Gary- chief export-- pollution.

(above) Min's Bud plant. I thought Merrimack's was the ugliest.


(above)Kluane Lake-- Yukon's largest


(above) LONDON DRUGS?! I have a comic about that. Will post later.

Seems Eric finished first.

Day 2 and some of 3

Today we hit a bird or he hit us. :(
And today is our last day in the states. We will be in Canada shortly. Who knows how many posts we can make. We will probably post more after we get settled. There are a lot of photos. And probably more stories.

Yesterday, Eric got a call from the bone marrow people. They want his blood to see if they want his bone. Uhhh. It's hard to think on an unknown deadline.

Oh we did get to the boring store. We got stickers. Eric got a pin and I got a bomb timer. (much better then an onion timer.)

So much nothing. We hope to get to Regina, sk today. And to find Canadian money. I'm hoping more find then trade in. Er, buy. There is nothing here so I'll type w bit longer. Oh there is a bridge. To and from where?

Alright, I'm signing off. Post next time we find wi-fi.
