The story on violin maker Rodney DeVries is out in today’s Star. Hopefully, I’ll be able to pick up a copy tomorrow.

I was going to write a really nasty rant about yesterday’s front page story in the Globe and Mail about the presidents of Canada’s largest five universities insisting like petulant children that they should be the only ones allowed to do research and train graduate students, but I figured we are pretty safe here in Atlantic Canada. I gather from the story that the poor stunned buggers, to use an apt Newfoundland expression, are not aware there is anything in the world east of Montreal. So we’ll be okay as long as we keep flying under the radar. Now, Manitoba and Saskatchewan are a whole different kettle of fish.
Man, such arrogance makes me want to put on one of those Free Newfoundland shirts…
On a much happier note: I am awaiting the delivery of a Yashica Mat 124G and you should get your hands on a copy of the next issue ofSaltscapes magazine. My fabulous significant other and I have a six page spread on corner stores in the September/October issue.
Change Islands, Newfoundland.
