Spine-tingling!


Last time I was in Cranbrook I picked up another wildlife postcard from the Hospital Auxiliary. It is the from the same line as the Pika postcard, so it has "facts" on it. Prepare to get learned!
The cry of the Loon is an unforgettable, spine-tingling feature of the northern forest. This fish catching machine can dive to depths of 200 feet and star submerged for over three minutes.
I still wish they had postcards of less popular Canadian critters like skunks, porcupines and mosquitos. That reminds me I used to have a t-shirt that said "Where the hell is Yahk, BC" and had a giant mosquito and monster truck on it. It was $5 and well worth it.

I suggest you go to a doctor for any tingling issues. 200ft? that is impressive. you should have got the 'I've been to yahk and back' tee.

They don't make "I've been to Yahk and back." t-shirts anymore. A few years ago I stopped in Yahk to try and get one and was told they haven't sold those in years. Too bad because that slogan was the only good thing they had going. Back in the old days my grandma had a "I've been to Yahk and back." on her Pinto.
