Truro

Truro Home Video is one of the few good things Truro has to offer. I worked there for a year. Then was fired. For calling my Dad. Lame.

Tidal bores suck. Hard.

A guy working at the Burncoat stop off had really recommended seeing a tidal bore(1) at Truro (he also recommended Rita McNeil’s teahouse, so we should have known something was up). After hanging around Truro for almost an entire day we were totally let down. Tidal bore rafting occurs in areas where there are already rapids. This thing was like 30cm and didn’t even dominate on any unsuspecting birds.

1. a natural phenomena where the narrowing and shallowing of a stream fed by the ocean focuses the rising tide into a wave coming inland

After dinner it was pretty late so we figured it wouldn’t be worth the $6 to go to the Agricultural exhibition / fair. We opted to climb over a fence behind some rides and waltz in. Big mistake. The top of the fence was covered in some pretty nasty tar that ended up all over our hands and on our clothes too. Pretty gross.

After some failed attempts at washing our hands we took in the local scene, touring around the fair, checking out the carneys and the various agricultural displays. The 4H club (heart, health, home, hands) is live and well in Truro apparently. Since it was night time, the stuff that had been sitting out all day was pretty gross. No one thought that it might be a good idea to put some ranch dip away.

If anyone knows how to get tar off of shorts let me know!
