Today is a day for thought.  While  surveying in the Yukon we often come  across
old log cabins that had been abandoned decades earlier.  Most often they had collapsed but
s few were habitable.  One of those we lived  in for a time.  Dr. Aho’s book speculates
on the contents.  Remember the  buildings were small, maybe the size of your living room
or our garage.  What was considered  necessary?  The answer startled  me.


Our cabin had the luxury of a linoleum floor.  1962.  What else would]
have been there in 1930?  1920?

What colour is my nightshirt?

Answer coming … tonight
