Met a friend on my travelz......His name is Slate....

Used to be that there was respect for other peoples property whether it was actually owned by or just worked for by a person, stealing was not stood for, blanket part or the barrel of a gun would be the result so most toed the line rather closely.

WOOT!! Looks like I can post pics again!!! This is just one of literally thousands of small piles is black spruce worked up along the sides of the roads up here everywhere you go.....most is fit to stove length....this batch is pile and dry in 4' length like pulpwood.....lot of spruce smoke in the air now!! Funny thing is, the leaves were starting to change at home and up through New Brunswick......but not started yet in Nova Scotia.....and not at all in Newfoundland....lot of gardens still producing heavily.....yesterday in Twillingate I found a big patch of plump, fresh, healthy blue berries growning.....just doesn't seem right.....it's real bleak up here.....haven't seen a tree ovah 16 foot tall in 1000 miles of driving......but they grow so thick you couldn't pull a snake through the forest.....you just can't enter the woods unless someone has broke a trail.


Hmm.....not sure what's up with posting pics....got one to post but this one won't.......have to click it I guess....

Well........I been a big fan of Keith's IPA for a long tyme.....and I'm sad to have to say it but I found a better tasting 'Nadian beverage....nevah wooda thunk it....it's a Newfoundland brew.......brewed by Quidi Vidi...pronounced Kitty Vidi......they have several very good brews like the "1892" but my new favorite is their Brittish IPA......OH MAN that's good stuffs.......HAW-PEEEE!!!

Very bleak up there, very exposed to the ravages of the Atlantic, trees can`t get a chance to grow in that thin soil and salt laced winds. Access to the fishing grounds was likely the only reason for families to settle on that coast, much better conditions further inside the bay.
