      Cyclable-ness and needing the ocean. Much like a 19th century sick person in a cosmic horror story, I was told the sea air would do me good, and it has. The only weird thing I've discovered in the Maritimes has been Newfies, unfortunately.

        Why so, don't you have Nova Scotians, langoustines and the like, in your proximity?

          I tease out of love, people out here are really friendly. There's just a tragic lack of Lovecraftian mysteries for me to unravel to give my life meaning and then drive me into all-consuming madness. I was hoping for Azathoth of Green Gables and instead all I got was cheap fish and really good seasonal produce.
