Back in 2009, a buddy of mine and I did a
motorcycle camping trip to Nova Scotia and back. We were on the road for two weeks. We camped one night in a small town, more of a hamlet really, called Canso in the easternmost point of Nova Scotia. Anyway, we rode our bikes that night to get dinner in town -- the campground was a bit outside of town. The restaurant also seemed to serve as a dance hall, a video game place and possibly was also the spot for folks to gather to vote, for town hall meetings, etc. There were only a bunch of people there that night. Anyway, while chomping down pizza, I spotted a young couple and their two young children having a bit of fun by a video game machine.. and it immediately made me wonder as to how they got along in general in that fishing hamlet far away from the big city lights of Halifax, Boston and New York. And now.. now I am wondering how that family is doing? Have they paid off all their debts and are getting by comfortably in the current global pandemic situation? Did they eventually move on from there seeking a bigger and better life elsewhere? Are they even still together as a family? I guess I will never know.
