A Different Way of Life

Fall is glorious in Lockeport - great colours, lots of crisp clear days and reasonably warm - at least compared to Ottawa. The weather makes you want to go for walks in the woods and there are lots of very nice walking trails in this area of Nova Scotia to enjoy.

The problem is that this is also HUNTING season. Right now duck, moose and bow-and-arrow deer hunting, followed by regular deer hunting. And almost every male here - and many a woman - hunts. Fishing boats are tied up while owners hunt. (At least they actually are hunting for food to eat - not just pleasure).

This of course makes it incredibly stupid to go for walks in the woods or close to the shore (where there are ducks). So I'll learn to enjoy the Fall colours from the car. And walk around town and on the town beaches.

Sigh!
