Brief Notes: Charlottetown-Kingston Differences

1. Far from being a natural red, the soil here is the freakish black that–on the Island–prevails only in gardens and nurseries. Or it’s grey.

2. The rocks are interesting. For one thing, there’s a lot more of them; it wasn’t unusual to look out from the train window and see a farmer’s fields, used for grazing, with a large clutch of rocks in the middle. For another, they’re not friable sandstone but rather durable granite.

3. Kingston is richer than Charlottetown. Much richer. And no, it’s not because of any direct exploitation of the Island proletariat by the Kingston elite, but rather because there can’t be as much on the Island as in Kingston, for historic, geographic, and other regions.

More later.

From my new theme song

“Allongé le corps est mort,
Pour des milliers, c’est un homme qui dort”

Arnold in 1977

I wonder what his children would think of this.

So long as everything was entirely consensual, I’ve no particular problem with it.

In Montreal

I’m in Montreal.

A longer update covering the entire week will come later, probably Saturday when I’m in Kingston. Suffice it to say that for now, I’m doing quite well and I look forward to the next two days.

Thanks!

I’d like to thank Thomas Vickers (redroach on livejournal) for hosting my article on 2300AD’s independent Bavarian colony of Heidelsheimat (Rho Eridani) at

Good bye for now

I’m backing up my files onto writable CDs now–I’ve copied over my E-mail achives (all ~640 megabytes worth)–in preparation for the move. The computer, with the bike and perhaps some other stuff, will be shipped over to Kingston via bus tomorrow, leaving me to carry my five bags with me on the train and into Montreal.

It’s raining right now, although the sky’s only partially clouded. There’s a beautiful rainbow stretching from the northern to the southern horizons.
