Live from Nova Scotia
Just a quick post today. We wanted to share a bit of stuff from our talented friend James Keller. He's been living in sin in Halifax for a while now and there doesn't seem to be much sign of him coming back west any time soon. In the meantime, though, we have been exchanging postcards over the past while (by "exchanging" I mean we sent him one from France and he sends us 3 from Nova Scotia).
The first post card was of a lobster, which was pleasantly stereotypical. But the last card was a tad more interesting:
My first thought was "now that's interesting." Things were explained a bit more on the opposite side of the card. It seems talented James has taken to making his own postcards. We quite like this one, so we figured we'd share it with you.
On the opposite side, the description (in very formal type) says:
Tim Hortons invades Blue Beach along the Bay of Fundy. A government-funded study last year in Nova Scotia showed that Tim Hortons accounted for 22 per cent of the province's litter.
Good times.
In other news, we just bought a new digital camera. An Olympus C-5500. We need to play with it a bit more, but I think we're getting the hang of it. Now we can take some cool pictures in Toronto next week.
Hope everyone's having a good time :)

Yeah! Digicam goodness! Can't wait for pictures...
And James' postcards rock. He sent me one of a picture of a cow that said: This postcard is not ironic.
Ironically, Nova Scotia does have a huge problem with Tim Hortons Cups. They're even thinking of putting a levy on them like pop cans or starting a recycling program.
That's hilarious. Nova Scotians are addicted to Tims. That, I can appreciate.
