omens. I'm very grateful to sage for beta reading! Reproducing the text here, mostly for archival purposes:
( Postcard text )
I got the postcard at Västerbottens Museum, a local museum. I originally wanted to find one with reindeer on it, but they didn't have any. And most of the other cards were specifically Swedish. I really don't know what kind of postcards you could buy in Tuktoyaktuk in the beginning of the sixties, but this one is at least not completely inappropriate. Plus, I think it's beautiful, in an austere way.
If you're wondering what the DEW station in the text is, it's part of a Cold War defense system called the Distant Early Warning Line. These stations often employed lots of local people and had quite an impact on the local society. My reading on the history of northern Canada is paying off!
