antigonish: land of 2 crosswalks and roadkill

and counting:
1 gigantic thanksgiving meal
1 delicious mcdonalds poutine (an antigonish delicacy)
1 slice of the wheel pizza (also an antigonish delicacy)
8 dead raccoons in an 8 km stretch
5000 middle aged people wearing x rings. working at convenience stores.
12 jay walkers i let cross, while scores of angry drivers beeped at me from behind
1 store open on sunday (needs. thankfully all i needed was cigarettes and a toothbrush)
6 conversations with people i graduated with whose names i couldn't remember
6000000 sightings of birkenstocks worn with socks
antigonish=priceless

ps i stood outside the respect life centre wishing it was open. sigh.
