I’m currently talking old cars with my mom (over text) AND I FEEL SO SMART RN.

So mom watched Tracker on ABC (or is it CBS???)

Anyways we’re talking about how Jensen Ackles makes another appearance in the newest episode and she mentions that “They brought ‘Baby’ back” (We watched the entirety of Supernatural over Lockdown)

And I SAID. When I looked at the video she sent

*watches the video back*

“Yeah no that’s a narrower hood, and similar headlights to the Impala…So Chevelle or a Nova.”

“Looks like black-veridian paint… But honestly that could be the grass around the car.”

I AM SMART

I am such a Chevy Gorl

I love critiquing cars with absolutely no context over what model or make it is.

Obfuscate for 3 sentence prompt

“Master, your rendering of the ordeal will likely obfuscate the matter.”

“I—what?” Link glanced at his companion. Then he squinted. “Did you just insult my ability to relay the information?”

First People Step Aside!

Saturday 22nd June 2024 – Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The city of Halifax was founded in 1749 when Lt General Cornwallis arrived with over 1,100 settlers and enough troops to set-up a garrison. This action was in response to the French establishment of Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island (where we were yesterday).

Arriving in Halifax today at 8am, Viking Star ‘parked’ opposite the Georges Island Lighthouse, which happens to be an identical twin to the Louisbourg Lighthouse that we never got to see yesterday on our excursion (a) because there wasn’t enough time and (b) because it was shrouded in scaffolding!

Today though, we had booked the ‘free’ Hop-on-Hop-off sightseeing bus.

However, far being the usual ‘Big Red Bus’ type of tour, ours turned out to be on board a fleet of original 1960s London Routemaster buses, all different colours, running at 15-minute intervals all day, exclusively for Viking passengers! We had all been to Halifax before but it was a lovely, almost nostalgic tour with an on-board guide giving the narration.

They make much of the ‘First Peoples’ thing nowadays and about how the land is shared with the local Mi’kmaq peoples, blah, blah, blah – but well they might because that original settlement by Cornwallis back in 1749 was itself in breach of an earlier agreement with the Mi’kmaq actually living here and yet today the population of the city is more than 500,000. I wonder what the Mi’kmaq think about that.

Anyway, after doing a full 90-minute circuit, we headed for a coffee shop and then Sally went shopping while Andrew, Angie & I went to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.

It was an excellent museum, with some fine ship models, including this one of the first Mauretania in her 1930s cruising white.

There was also a featured section on the massive explosion in 1917 that destroyed a vast section of the city when the SS Imo, a Belgian relief ship, collided with the SS Mont-Blanc, a French munitions ship loaded with 4,000 tons of high explosives.

The resulting explosion was the biggest man-made explosion at the time, killing over 2,000 people, injuring over 9,000 and laying waste to a huge area of the city.

It was also by ships from Halifax that, in 1912, the largest number of bodies were recovered and following the sinking of the Titanic. There’s a section in the cemetery here where they are buried.

There were many recovered artefacts on display, including this deck-chair.

A pleasant walk can be had along the Boardwalk from downtown all the way to the Cruise Terminal and there is a wealth of bars, restaurants, shops and ‘playgrounds’ for kids and adults alike.

This private yacht ‘Samsara’ also arrived today and on looking it up, I discovered that the owner is none other than Harry Potter author J.K.Rowling! Available for charter, Samsara sleeps 12 and will cost you $1.1m a week including the crew of 28!

The Corvette disc brake caps really make the car...

Well, happy April fools! But I also want to take a moment for the 150th anniversary of the steamship SS Atlantic, which sank on April 1st 1873...

Out of all 952 people on board, only 429 survived.

All women were lost.

Only one child survived.

It would be the deadliest shipwreck in the North Atlantic until the SS La Bourgogne in 1898.

And the worst disaster of the White Star Line until the RMS Titanic in 1912.

And this is not an April fools joke...
