      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.

          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.
