Food and friends aplenty
Last evening I relented and watched the campfire. It still doesn’t beat HDTV with cable for content, but the colours are SO realistic. My Mythbusters bent had me testing the chemical content of certain foodstuffs with the original gas spectrometer;. For your information, cheesies don’t even burn/ Think about that, the next time a choice for munchies comes up.
We watched our neighbours pack and move on, taking their excess firewood as baggage. Sadness, as we realized that the next session of scientific testing will require purchase of additional tinder. Tender for tinder; the fundamental of economy.
Lunch required real food, so we headed down to St. Peter’s for an excellent meal at Rick’s Fish & Chips. It doesn’t seem to matter the hour of the day; the parking lot remains full as a sign of the quality within. Where else can you get a good feed of sole with a side of clam strips at a reasonable price, and find lots of folks “that you know” as added measure? Friends from the other side of the globe or from the other side of the river. Musicians and writers, sailors and world renowned educators.
The Souris CAP site is open again this summer, with erratic wifi (a constant). Whether you take a seat inside the tourist info site, climb the stairs to that shelf by the cast off book shelf, or join the monks of the 21st century inside, be ready to reconfigure at least three times before counting on consistent bandwidth.
