Fort Beaubassin/Lawrence and Fort Beausejour/Fort Cumberland

Two big forts today on our way towards St John, the first found a little by accident. Fort Beaubassin and Fort Lawrence immediately adjacent there was little to see above ground but it is the history of the place that is interesting. The site was originally a Mi'kmaq indigenous location until Acadians settled in the area with the two coexisting in relative harmony however the long simmering border dispute between the British and French erupted in 1750 when the French and Mi'kmaq burned the village in advance of the British forces arriving. The Acadians and French then withdrew across the river and constructed Fort Beausejour and the British built Fort Lawrence on the Beaubassin Ridge and the two effectively faced each other across the Missaquash river which was the boundary of the British and French territory. The British eventually took Fort Beausejour in 1755 and it become the British garrison known as Fort Cumberlandand Fort Lawrence was abandoned though it was used alongside Fort Beausejour to hold the Acadians before their deportation.

After viewing the landscape we moved the few miles to the main fort site of Beausejour which became Fort Cumberland once under British control. This is one of Canadas oldest forts built in a pentagon shape originally by the French to which the British added an extension. It was attacked unsuccessfully during the American Revolution and eventually abandoned in 1835.

Dubrovnik

I had mixed feelings about visiting Dubrovnik, but was pleasantly surprised in the end. Pre-Covid it had become a prime example of over tourism, with vast numbers of cruise ship passengers and other visitors swamping the Old Town. Though very busy on a Saturday in early June 2023 it was reasonably straightforward to avoid the masses, by venturing down the backstreets or visiting the quiet…

If you don't make your fantasy "spent life on the run" characters fatter after they find a home and a happy ending I will find you. Give that muscle powered love interest a dad bod AT LEAST. He went to war. He needs it. Give your characters variety. And fucking feed them already

Exit Strategies, Entrance Exams On A Very Special Clone High Season Finale

It's put up or shut up for the student body vying for the opportunity to attend totally not at all suspicious Clone High College. We also check in with Mr. Butlertron. Spoiler: Dude lived wild.

Review In the penultimate episode, “For Your Consideration”, Principal Scudworth (Phil Lord) takes advantage of the Annual Crab Fest for the Board of Shadow Figures to propose “Cloney Island”, a pet project introduced in episode 2 of MTV’s original series, but it’s of little consequence. The event was a formality to open the floor for ideas, but since Cinnamon shanked it, Candide Sampson (Christa…
