Vancoufur is over now. Forestry is here to round up all the animals

An official sign warning you not to feed bears. A stick figure is running from a bear with a fish depicted inside of it. The fish appears to have human hands for some reason?

Run away from bears that have eaten fish with hands

This new funding model we developed today is confidential, so please don't share this

Honestly it's more than just the Northern stores. Inuvik used to have a furniture, candy, souvenir t-shirts, and Christian books store. It still has a clothing, sewing supplies, and firearms store

You've got to diversify I guess

Large teddy bears sitting on top of a row of snow mobiles in a store

The Northern Stores take this to the point of insanity: "toys? Next to the snowmobiles. Toothpaste? Behind the toys, near the kitchen supplies and sealskins."

"Groceries are a different section. We are completely out of apples but have lots of dragon fruit. They are $8 each"

A black and white photo of a bagpiper, wearing a kilt and standing on an ice sheet. Next to him is a penguin, who seems oblivious

From the 1904 Scottish Antarctic expedition, which observed that the penguins redacted with "no sign of appreciation or disapproval, only sleepy indifference" to bagpipes

Just make sure you only grab your bags once at the luggage carousel

Give verities of pickled cucumbers, or pickled things in general?

A dish towel with various anthro subarctic animals doing outdoor sports

They had this dish towel at the Whitehorse bike shop and it's too cool to use as a dish towel

Is there some sort of standard for weighing medals because I'm not sure that 1 gold > 3 silvers and 4 bronzes

A snow covered sign marking the Arctic circle, with a bus stop sign bolted too it

The bus stop sign closer up

Some silly person bolted an Edmonton bus stop sign to the Arctic circle crossing sign on the Dempster Highway, Yukon

A bathroom sign that says "Ladies Washroom [BIG TEXT] Men [small text] please don't go in here, this is the ladies room, the men's room is across the hall"

No, stop it, this isn't funny. Just make your single+stall bathrooms gender neutral

A lynx, in the snow

What are you looking at?

Got stranded in Whitehorse by road closures so went to go see lynx

I suck at proofreading but I'm proud that I caught "knowledge may be for pubic use" in a draft memo we got from a lawyer at work

Taiwan garbage truck song YouTube video by Cliptours Com

In Taiwan the garbage trucks play music, like an ice cream truck

I'd make a joke about children enthusiastically yelling "the garbage truck is here!" when they hear they hear the tune, but that would have absolutely been me as a 4-year-old

I've met North American white people whose chili recipe is beef, beans, and ketchup

Some of the best pasta I've ever had was at some random but surprisingly fancy restaurant on a rural road outside of Aso National Park

Three packages of white men brand toothpaste

White men: now available in tubes

A cat-shaped device called the "VR Cat" with a VR headset off to the side. The remaining text is mostly in Chinese

I was really disappointed that this just has stock VR games and is not in fact an open world feline experience

Adorable

A loose watercolor of a lynx in a floppy green sweater. He has large paws and a neutral expression

hey guys! it's a lynx in a green sweater. you want this right?

Yeah, I've owned single speeds in flat places but it's a bit more work where you live. Still, it's a good setup for daily life stuff

Simple is beautiful

The view through the cockpit window of a small plane coming in for landing

Landing during polar night

It's nice when they leave the cockpit door open

The conference space at this small town hotel has four bathrooms: men, "ladies", bison, and (not pictured) butterfly

The four genders

That means you have to fly the plane if the pilots both get sick
