my skin crawled and I started scratching my back when I read that … also, I can’t wait to get back to my cottage in the north Ontar-i-o.
As an Indigenous person who grew up in the north … skimming off the bugs from your hot cup of tea in the wilderness was a completely normal thing growing up.
… and the Logdriver’s Waltz was a fun tune when I saw it as a kid … and I appreciated it even more when I met my wife’s family who were all from the Ottawa valley and had come from the log driving culture a hundred years ago.
The song they loved was the Log Driver Song … here’s a modernized version of it by Mac Beatty … https://youtu.be/UnKmPCrqYDE
