Just noticed the wedding apparel and adult sex toys store are right beside each other on NS Trunk 7 in Dartmouth.

Today I learned about the SS Daisy, an old British navy trawler whose rusting hulk now forms part of the Dartmouth shoreline along #Halifax Harbour near the MacDonald Bridge: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/mystery-ship-ss-daisy-halifax-harbour-dartmouth-newfoundland-1.3579257

I’m getting used to the ou’s in Canadian spelling but come on Canada this is totally unnecessary

Good morning, #Halifax. Sunrise has moved earlier and northlier since two months ago.

The Wave at #Halifax Waterfront. Officially, you are not supposed to climb and slide down The Wave, but since so many people do it anyway there is a soft safety foam base surrounding The Wave. I am told it is also called The Danger Wave.

Found another Filipino food market in Dartmouth NS with bags of vegetarian simulated pork rinds. (Made of green pea and rice rusks with flavouring)

Eat canned snails now, my lord

Today in extremely Canadian living, I just got some free health care and then bought a Tim Horton's Regular (i.e. coffee with one cream and one sugar; the double double is way too sweet for me) with a "Farmer's Wrap" which is just a breakfast wrap with an added hashbrown and spicy mayo.

Hey Canadian Tire has worms

Got my #Halifax library card and some useful reference material.

Fascinating thing about #NovaScotia geology: Halifax sits atop what's called The Meguma Terrane, the remnants of a prehistoric subcontinent that used to be separate from North America: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meguma_terrane — Meguma is joined with the distinct northern Avalon Zone along a nearly horizontal fault line that you can trace from Cobequid to Canso. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meguma_terrane

I think one reason #Halifax roads seem so confusing and ill-planned is because (1) the geology of the place is lots of steep, jagged bedrock, expensive and difficult to blast and build straight-line infrastructure upon, and (2) the roadways were laid out at a time when they assumed most people would be out working on fishing boats anyway

Here's the inside of folk artist Maud Lewis's house at the Art Gallery of #NovaScotia in #Halifax. https://flic.kr/p/2etbDYu

We had lunch at Fong’s Chinese, which is in the background of this #TrailerParkBoys scene: https://youtu.be/0eQBsRChMxk — across from Annapoli Pizza on Cole Harbour Road. #halifax #novascotia #baaaaam

Walked around Cole Harbour Heritage Park today and that’s how I learned about the crosses marking the Poor Farm gravesite. https://globalnews.ca/news/2380240/hidden-cemetery-along-cole-harbour-trails-tells-story-of-forgotten-souls/

Artist wife profiled by Argyle Fine Art in #Halifax, where she has paintings up: https://argylefineart.blogspot.com/2019/05/introducing-amy-ordoveza.html

I just found #NovaScotia milk production regulations: https://www.novascotia.ca/just/regulations/regs/disch2.htm

I visited #Halifax Public Gardens and the Central Library, whose architecture evokes an impression of haphazardly stacked books. The cantilevered top floor has nice views of the Harbour — and is also home to the SF/Fantasy section.
