We have fog this morning here back home. Just a little. We
didn't have any in NS. It snowed overnight Sunday but only an
inch or less. Today they were going to get nailed with 8" of
snow so I was glad to get out last night.

I had chowder and scallops both lunches I was there. The first
being in Yarmouth and the second in Digby on my drive to Halifax
to catch a plane home. Digby is the home of the best scallops in
the world, they say. Mine were fantastic. And they didn't cost a
bundle eiher. If you ignore the cost of flying to Nova Scotia.
