Photos Are Hard to Post

This is the desolate Skeena River Valley in the bleakness of October taken from the speeding (also rattling, grinding and howling)Greyhound coach on my way to Prince Rupert. What's up with the Prince names for all the towns? It sounds gay.  And I can say being the T in LGBT. I was glad the bus didn't stop here, it was miserable out, cold, and mile after mile of little stunted evergreens and birch trees losing their shit. There was snow on the hills all around and within a few weeks this will be really fucked up and dangerously hostile.

 This is some kind of convention center in Prince Rupert on the bluff overlooking some sound or other where the ships anchor up. This is the longhouse first nations style architecture. That's what they call Indians up here. Cool by me. Actually there was a Prince Rupert. Nephew of the King Charles that got deposed and executed but they didn't blame Rupert, who was the best of the losing Royalist generals, for some reason. Matter of fact when they brought the Kings back in England he showed up again and they made him an Admiral. A successful Admiral, I might add. Practically the only one they had. Quite a character. Rupert.A dweeb name nowadays.

This is for the photo below I screwed up the layout and I can't get into the little narrow space below the picture, which is the totem pole just casually inserted next to the NAPA store in Cow Bay in Prince Rupert. I don't know what this totem pole signifies, maybe its like a Kyle Petty endorsement type gimmick, the Crow God runs on NAPA parts or something. Anyway its cool to have public art that's not formally sponsored by a government or an institution, this shop owner is probably just a first nations native, there's a million of them around, every other person you see is native, Indian as we say, American culture is ethnocentric to a disturbing degree, the language itself almost precludes inclusivity. The totem pole is old, and starting to rot on the shaded side. I took all these pictures with my cell phone. 

This is the fourth time I've made a caption for this dumb-ass picture. If you do all your shit in Google fine but its a pain in the ass to get a picture in here if you don't. I kind of hate Google but it's like hating God. It looks bad to the neighbors when you talk about it and it doesn't do any good. Anyway this is the dumb-ass Community Center in Prince George BC with all the pipe somebody stole from an oil rig. That's the joke I have belabored to the point where it isn't funny any more. I will try to put more pictures in here but you have to put them in Picasa web first.
