Ah the joys of old sidehiller and bushpiggy. I love the smell of whacked stubble in the morning! Just pump out some Wagner on the PA while you whack; you won't need guns if'n the aboriginals think you're crazier than you are. If they "take it to the streets", the ones stopping in for a visit won't waste a bullet on your posted signs. Night of Living Dead scenario; you won't win that one, buddy, so don't whistle your way to neurosis believing you will. It ain't that long a distance from landed gentleman to wolfpacker. If you should get lucky and survive the first wave, remember that guns don't keep evil away, just make it focus better. The stench of rotting flesh and severed heads on pikes is the way to go: vide Heart of Darkness. Have fun now.

Days of future shock might just be around the corner, a place to get away from it all could be in order. Until that time, I watch for freeloading turkey hunters and try to get that old thing started after the long cold winter. I like to keep the place neat for the interlopers.

jack, I peeked at your "wee road" site. Impressive. Where did your partner study, please? The school of life, King. The beauty in Barb has now survived 50 years with me, and some of it shows in the book.

The problem of future shock is that everyone else is also trying to find a place to get away from it all. This could pretty quickly degenerate into those who currently have such a place trying to hold it against those trying to get a share. In such a case, ownership pretty much becomes a matter of who can hold it, not who has some paper with his name on it. Which is to say, government goes tribal in a hurry when events go badly.

Extraordinary. I asked my wife, a painter who also has taught drawing at a distinguished art school and the university here, to confirm my notion that the illustrations were from years of study and experience. Definitely, she said. Good on you both.

King: your comments have made Barb's day!  BTW, I think the book will be available at the Hector Museum & Quay in Pictou NS this summer, as it is about the community from which the Hector sailed in 1773. If you'd like to read it sooner, try our website, or http://www.amazon.com.

Rocketman, thats much more future shock than I'm contemplating - but never the less, when the land is yours(as in you paid for), you'll fight all the harder to keep it.
Enuff gold and bullets for about a year will do you.
Anyway, I'm getting ready!
How about you?

"Pre-ordered for June 2008 delivery" by Amazon Canada. I've been doing some work on Campbell migration 1792 at Glenelg on Sound of Sleat, quite a bit south. I was in Pictou today.
