Heart button. Hug button. Something to show caring instead of just thanks?

Love that pic. I posted it at some time or another in one of those pic threads.

 

[Gracie]

I'd love to be at that beach!

 

[Kat]

Isn't that gorgeous???

Haven't stopped by to say good morning in a while.

Ah I think I know where that is, around Fort Bragg. Not from being there but reading about it. I know a marvelous spot for sea glass on the beach of Inverness in Cape Breton. What stories they have.

Good morning!

And good morning to you too SixFoot. You have been a missed person here.

And good morning everybody. A bright new Monday in Albuquerque and a definite feel of fall in the early morning air. I'm wondering if our summer is over. We have been in high 70's, very low 80's for highs for more than a week now and it remains that way as far ahead as they forecast. That would be most welcome. That is spring and fall weather for us. Night time temps in high 50's, low 60's makes for very good sleeping. I'm liking it a lot.

So hoping for a good week for or comfort and more peace for those dealing with serious issues. Hoping Ringel's hearing comes out in the best possible way, that necessary plans proceed as they should, that those we love, both people and fur babies, do well. Hoping our dishwasher is delivered early tomorrow as scheduled. (Our old one died.) And that life is good today.

Cape Breton. . .that's in Nova Scotia? I've never been to that part of the world, New England and on up the Canadian Atlantic coast, but I've always wanted to go there. But it is interesting that sea glass is not just a California thing.

Good morning!

And good morning to you too SixFoot. You have been a missed person here.

Not sure if I feel good about being missed or if I feel bad for being missed. lol

I start college this Tuesday, so in preparation this month, I have deactivated my social site accounts, been binging on various mathematics lessons via youtube, and taken to nootropics for clarity and focus (I've also spent a stupid amount of money on supplies, holy crap!!). A little nervous here, as it's been 18 years since I last sat in such a classroom.

I think I'll be here more often, for a while at least.

Oh no, there's always been a ton of ship traffic in that area too, but you need exactly the right current flow to bring it in. Out at my spot in Inverness, you go a mile or two up or down the road, and you get nothing.

Cape Breton is the northeastern island that sits off the mainland, or basically as far as you can drive a car towards Europe before you hit the Atlantic Ocean. Which looks like this:

(That would be Highlands Provincial Park, which takes up a big chunk of the northern tip)​

Until the causeway bridge was built in the 1950s it was quite isolated -- more so than now -- and as a result of the Highland Clearances in Scotland, where Scottish Catholics were kicked off their land and settled here, their Scottish traditions held on and prospered, so much so that today people come from Scotland to Cape Breton to find out what their own heritage is.

That's what I go for -- the music. Some of the most deeply primal straight from the heart music I've ever heard. I've been there four times.

Anyway, yes where there's a history of seafaring and the currents are just right, sea glass washes up. There's a list of places for the intrepid traveler seeking baubles, including one here in Carolina.

 

[SixFoot]

Getting everything cleaned up, making sure the travel list (what to bring) is complete and will pack up for tomorrow's trip up to Colorado Springs. Have to remind the wife (and myself) that it's only for 3 days so only bring what we need and use for 3 days.

We'll take you however you feel.

And we will be pleased to go through your new adventure with you. Our Montrovant is also working on a way to do college work after a long delay as well. And kudos for your bravery to take on a really big challenge.

But is the lovely photo you posted reversed? Seems to me the ocean should be on the right (east) side of the land mass? Or am I not visualizing it correctly?

No, that's actually the western side of the tip, facing the Gulf of St. Lawrence. I lied.

So, Europe would be way over to the right, beyond the land. I should have taken a pic later down the road, and I think I did, but I don't know where it is. So that's just a nice shoreline but.... not the Atlantic. I'm so busted. But that is Highlands Provincial Park. Up around where it says "Pleasant Bay"...

​

Inverness is down the road to the south on the western shore. But you have to know exactly where to go for sea glass.
Tell ya what, take me up there and I'll show you.


There's a German lady who runs a nice funky B&B there that I've used a few times who insists that Cape Breton is literally a part of Scotland, that it broke off and floated down back in the early daze...

 

[Pogo]

Where to find sea glass around the world

 

[Gracie]

I have these beauties about half an hours drive north. I really need to get back there before we leave.

Sun is finally out, too! Beautiful day, but I smell an early winter. Fall has begun early too. At least here.

Ah, that make sense then. And I wouldn't have known that you remembered slightly inaccurately if you hadn't fessed up. Happens to a lot of us it seems. But you have definitely added to my interest to visit that part of the world before I die. I may never have the opportunity to do it as time ticks on, but it is nice to have pleasant possibilities in mind for our goals.

Hopefully Montrovant is doing better than I am. lol I'm starting at the bottom-most classes for the first two sessions. I can't cut a single corner if I'm gonna go from Infaneer to Mathematician. Should work out for the better though, since these remedial classes will host more people that are my age. It will help with the transition back into an academic-type atmosphere. It's just gonna be harder to cram in the extra classes in the same four year time hack.

Montro is a math whiz so the two of you should collaborate. He's starting from scratch too and is having a tough time getting a program that fits his needs though as he needs to do mostly on line courses in his situation. It will be tough for both of you thinking of my own college coursework long out of high school. It is sometimes difficult to redevelop those study habits, memorizing skills, etc. and there is so much more sociopolitical influence to be adapted to these days, but I'm betting both you and he are going to do just fine.
