Halloween Mail

Hi Gang,
Little Fox here.  The letter carrier just dropped off a letter for me. A certain sekrebeary recycled the envelope but it was from a certain bear in Canada.  It was also adorned with some cool stickers.

It's a card with a picture of yours truly with Sandy in his Halloween costume from October 2017.   Can you see the squash in the foreground?

Actually, you know there are some ears in the background.  I wonder who it could be? 

Ah, of course.  It's Odie.  Apparently he likes hanging out at our place periodically to get away from Garfield. Who would have known? 

Thanks for the cool Halloween card team Sandy!  

PS, the card arrived right on Halloween.  Kudos to Sandy's sekrebearial team for getting the card delivered right on Halloween.

Mail Call.

Happy New Year!

I am such a lucky fox because I have an awesome sekrebeary......hey wait my human had control of the blog for a second......let's get this blog  back on track.  First of all, happy new year (again).  I recently got some cool mail.  Speaking of new year I got a happy new year card from Julie Jane and friends.  

This card represents the year of the boar (pig).  This is the 12th year of the Chinese zodiac and the boar represents wealth, behaving oneself and has no plans to harm others.  Not a bad mantra to live by. Thanks Julie Jane.

Next up is a nice card from Beanie and Andrea.  Beanie's packaging is the best.  Reused materials, creative, and colorful. Odie apparently is trying to lick it so he approves as well. 

Beanie is part of the international stuffy community as well as my friend Sandy.  The card on the right is from Beanie and the one on the left if from Sandy.  Sandy's card arrived only a few days after Christmas so considering the trouble the Canada post has had lately I consider this card "on time".  Thanks Beanie and Sandy. 

Looks like my pal Droopy is traveling. He went to a famous pyramid in Mexico.  That dog travels to some cool places.  I am a tad jealous.....OK really jealous.  Thanks for the card Droopy, I hope you had a good time. 

Odie has been hanging out with Little Bear and I and has enjoyed being part of the blog.  He decided to give a small gift as a thank you for being on the blog.  Looks like he went to a local coffee shop and brought us back some fresh roasted coffee.  Thanks Odie!

Thanks everyone for the cards and holiday wishes.

Little Fox. 

Little Fox Archaeologist

Hello Blog Pals,
I received a call from the museum's director wanting me to document some historical places around the state.  A purest would say it's more of a sociology task but if the check clears this fox doesn't really care.

Yes, Odie is the museum's director.


Back in the day, there was a show on TV called Northern Exposure.  It was set in Cecily, Alaska and the premise was the state of Alaska paid for his medical school and in return he had to practice medicine anywhere the state placed him and in this case it was Cecily, Alaska.  The "real" Cecily is set in a town called Roslyn, Washington.

My job is to go to the town where they filmed shots for Cecily and document it for the museum.

One of the main scenes in the show was a moose walking around town.

Check one task off of my list for the museum.  The mural is in great shape. 

Other famous scenes from the TV show took place in the towns radio station.  A philosophical ex- conhad a popular morning show in the town. 

Well, I could not get into the station but I found it. 

The bar was a local hangout in town and many scenes were filmed.  I had my archaeological assistant (Sequoia) with me so going into the bar was not an option but I did find the bar. 

Outside of bar.

Even though Northern Exposure was the main show filmed in Roslyn, other shows have used the town as a backdrop.  The man in the high castle is partially filmed in Roslyn.  Before TV, Roslyn was an active mining community home to many European immigrants from 1850 to 1960ish when they stopped mining.  Now, the town makes it money from tourism (many lakes, many hikes, many ski resorts nearby).

I feel I have documented the town for the museum, now it's time to see the curator for my check.
