Here’s a picture of the Northern Lights through the window of my Yukon cabin. Almost every night it’s been too overcast to see them, but one night last week, for just a few hours, the sky cleared. And there they were. I’m sitting by the Blaze King wood stove tonight, keeping warm and hoping for [...]

They installed my new Blaze King Princess catalytic wood stove today! Though it was sad to say goodbye to the old Princess, I’m excited about the new one.
