Bell Island, just off the coast of Newfoundland, is said to be the most haunted island in North America.
It is said there are ghosts, malevolent fairies, mysterious lights and, of course, the famous Bell Island Hag.
This is the story.

This scumbag says it’s a “badge of honor” to pay $70,000 for courtside seats to a basketball game. This is the mentality.

SkyDome is among the most-transit connected major league sports venues in North America. Regional rail. Subway. GO bus. Streetcar. City Bus. A thing to be proud of.

Fun fact. The distance from the Rogers Center to the largest transit terminal in Canada is less than the distance from the middle of Dodger Stadium to the extreme edge of its parking lot.

It takes about 35 years for olive trees to fully mature and fruit for harvest. Planting them is something a person does to benefit future generations.

I'm glad Tunisia has promised saplings when there is peace to grow them.

Nearly one million of Gaza’s 1.1 million olive trees have been destroyed—bulldozed by Israeli forces, left to die from thirst, or trapped behind military lines. In his new report for Drop Site, Gaza journalist Mohamed Suleiman reports from Al-Mawasi and Khan Younis, where farmers are enduring...

I watched the '92 WS win on tv. Friend and I drove through downtown St. John's afterwards and there were celebrations in the street through the night. 3000km from Atlanta, 2000km from Toronto. It was *awesome*.
