Games
Come in. Pull up a chair.
Them days you sent a youngster up the road to say there was a game on. Now you send the code, and if a chair's still empty when you deal, one of the regulars takes it.

Got a place worth the drive?
Down the road
Well, Sunday after Mass we'd walk it. Start at the gate and go down, and every house along here I'll tell you who's in it.
The 1929 Burin Peninsula Tsunami
An earthquake under the Grand Banks sent the sea walking ashore on the Burin.
On 18 November 1929 a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck the Grand Banks south of Newfoundland, triggering a submarine landslide that severed transatlantic telegraph cables and generated a tsunami. Waves up to roughly 13 m struck the south coast of the Burin Peninsula about two and a half hours later, destroying homes, stages and vessels; 28 people lost their lives, making it Canada's deadliest tsunami. Natural Resources Canada and the US NCEI document the event in detail.

Them days the garden party was the whole summer. Here's what's on the go now, and when.
The kitchen
Well, Sunday the pot was on before Mass and the smell of it met you at the gate. Here's what was in it, and how it's done.
The hall
Them days the hall had a dance Saturday and the kitchen had music the rest of the week. It's still playing. Come in and listen.
The yarns
He said, you know the one about the light on the water. I said, I do. That's a story, mind, and I'll tell you which parts.
Not the house
No, I said, that's not the house. It was down just below there. Go back up the road.
