In 1943 in Halifax and Canada sugar was rationed. However an extra ration of sugar was released for those with Rhubarb patches. The coupon expired at the end of may. That seems early for peak rhubarb season

Dropped in to see Wentworth falls earlier today. Lots of water, no blackflies … even if there were … it always a nice stop.

Morning bike and swim. The water in Albro Lake was at 24 C this morning. This seems warm for lake water in Dartmouth at this stag of the season. I wonder how long the bacterial count will be in the recommended zone….

Went to see Met’s Carmen at Cineplex. Carmen is crushed by a baseball bat swung by Don Jose to end her life, her relationship with someone else and the opera. Great music, production (set in near to current time period), musical actors and performers but troubling story for today’s times.

The discussion has been so focused on building in bad places that impacts like dredging, infills, clear cuts to the water have been missing from the debate
