Beach Party Game Pusooy

12. In the mist of smoke from fires

We saw them arrive by river. We camped on the edge of the Mistassini, where small gorges and end up where the islands begin. The great river had made thinner, finer, too, because of too mild a winter and spring too hot and too dry. You could see off the dust from the trucks of wood.

Latest logs that are descent while yards are closed and that the threat of a ban of up to wood hangs over our heads.

That night in camp, there was something in the air, something weird. It was not the absence of the campfire, not because of high flammability, or the virtual absence of flies and mosquitoes usually so fierce in the late spring.

come a time when the Engoulvent, then that light from the setting sun was glancing over, we saw the river covered with a mist almost invisible, imperceptible through the lens of a camera. Nothing to do with the mist that brings the dew, this one was dry and smelled the hot ashes. She was transported by winds from the north following the riverbeds. She spoke of the great fires.

Earlier, a few hundred kilometers, burning abandoned by firefighters awoke under the effect of wind. It was enough of a breeze to embers hidden under a strain is resuscitated. For large fires leave.


Hard to believe as the forest is green in spring. However, the fog from the north demonstrated. The lights are there. South-west, too, like the Smoky Lake, in the reservoir area Grouin, which burn no less than 70 000 hectares.

If it were not for the haze, we could guess that most southerly of firefighters struggling to new fronts, sawing, bûchent, dig the earth in the hum of Canadairs to cut off the fire.

Added September: Lake Fire Smooky will eventually devastated almost 150,000 acres and not until mid-September that SOPFEU could announce that he had been extinguished after three months of work.

Why Do I Weigh The Same After Pooing

Helmet-Meantime (1992)

not to mention the 90's let alone albums of Helmet, U.S. group founded by Page Hamilton and officiating in a vein post-hardcore riffs, raw, our man and his cronies have to ceases to evolve, the jewel that is Betty or on Aftertaste and his collection of pieces that look like uppercuts melodic sound.

Here is the front side, jerky, which is dominant, which Hamilton also in the more melodic ( You Borrowed , alert and great Unsung ), inaugurating the pavement powerful by the unstoppable In the Meantime and vindictive Ironhead. Barded attacks noisy guitar solos when, in their massive options rhythmic section and a low-battery hair, thrust, provided by the pair Stanier / Bogdan, Peter Mengede shouldering the page guitar, this album is one of the cornerstones of the career of Helmet.

It also Wharton Tiers to prod 'and Andy Wallace in the mix, the sound was obviously perfect in every way. A must, therefore, in a style already recognized as one of Hamilton and Company, Strap it after is already strong, released on Amphetamine Reptile Records , and as a prelude to many other significant exits.

11. Geese


As a clamor from the south, geese. Hundreds of thousands of geese are returning to countries that most of us never see. They crossed the border without a passport biometric. Many of them have remained there, killed by a hunter or farmer.

Geese is the ticking clock that announces the boreal summer. I do not know if they know or if they summon her own summer, but their arrival coincides with that of heyday. Sometime earlier in the month of May has seen the last snow fall. Now the thermometer brand values greater than thirty degrees and the soil is dry and gray.

In the forest, it is the smell of ripe fruit fell to the fall and the hum of swarms of flies and maragouins. Low vegetation has not yet resumed its growth and we can still see the winter roads.

For non-wintering mammals including us, dogs and ourselves, the hot weather upon us, liquifient the body, soften the mind. They are lying in the shadow of their cabins while we, we wander, a shovel or a drill hand, trying to prepare for the coming summer season so that the reason we command the rest.

It's time for repairs. It revives the gardens in the boreal plains unfit for any culture, we hunt bats roofs, it carries sand in the kennel. And then there's fishing and bear hunting for Jo.

Now the winter is like a distant country. And when one looks at the sky and seen by tens, hundreds or thousands of these geese, Canada geese and snow geese mixed, one comes to wonder if this they are or who we are moved.
