I wrote the following poem this morning, maybe it is my Canada windows 7 Desktop theme that shows me various pics of Canada, although most of those I suspect were summer pics that make the place look inviting, really I started writing because my folks gave me an antique fountain pen that screws into it’s holder on a marble base doesn’t take cartridges has a built in gizmo that takes some ink up into it so I got some Italian Bordeaux colored ink from a site on the internet I like, so I guess I was itching to use the pen and this was completely spontaneous it took me about 5 minutes or less to write scanned it in embellished it with a photo of the Yukon territory in winter (actually I think it’s a glacier up there but definitely the Yukon, which is right next to Alaska) and then regarding the tone of the poem the other pic jumped out at me when I was looking for the Yukon pic to insert!  |

Oops it was supposed to say scarcely for hire but it almost fits better the way it turned out, that ink I bought is genuinely Italian fine writing ink I also bought the violet ink but haven't used it yet, available @ a site called 13 Moons. Oh and please axcues my barely legible lefty scrawl!!!

The North has always had an appeal to me, too. Maybe it was all those Jack London books I used to read.
There are some railways that run from Skagway through the Yukon. In summertime it would make a great vacation.
