About the proprietor.
I am a humble and harmless professor of history and religious studies at Cape Breton University who is overwhelmed by the insanity of life in the twenty-first century.
Please join in and enjoy the blog, but remember that if you say something … ironic, sarcastic, provocative … I may get into a whole heap of trouble. Remember that modern Canadian society bows to the most hysterical elements within it.
Feel free to write to me at sleepyoldbear AT eastlink.ca

Welcome anytime. My daughter-in-law is a Washington girl. I would love to live there.
We always need more pontiffs.
Wait a minute … is there really room for more than one?

No more room for more another pontiff, therefore I’ll just opine because I’m not qualified to pontificate on any subject that requires a learned amount of brain matter. Only life’s experiences and observations.
My daughter and her husband (both PHD’s) live and teach in Halifax. It might as well be at the other end of the world.
WA State is an enigma. I am a two year newcomer and still have not gotten used to it’s natural treachery. I’m sure the natives will dismiss this as nonsense but after climbing and hiking the California Rockies, I find this peninsula foreboding.
Although I look over the Sraight of Juan De Fuca and love the water and mountains, it doesn’t feel like I, as a human am welcome here. Nature is the absolute reigning monarch and it doesn’t let us forget it. NOT your typical tourist attraction ( except for the Orcas). Atleast where I am.
Of course, the natural treachery is not as great as the treachery we are trying to analyze and solve in the U.S. politics at the moment.
Mankind is not a gentle creature. Even though we have a much greater ability and have evolved way beyond God’s other creatures, we are the most sinister, violent and cruel. That will be the cause of our extinction as it was in civilizations before us.
God will have to engineer a better genetic code for the next evolution of humans.

copperpeony,
I absolutely LOVE the Olympic Peninsula! It feels like it’s the one part of Washington that is still wild and untamed and mysterious.

I have only seen pictures of it … but I have an ambition to go backpacking there.

Trouble is that he has a habit of falling off mountains. I’d feel a bit guilty looking over the cliff, then walking on — hey! what can I do ?

I’m glad that I found this site through TD’s blog. I have many ties to Canada, especially to Toronto and Halifax although I am a patriotic American who resides on the west coast.
Will be back soon to pontificate my views in your comments section. Take care.
