    At approximately 11:40:44 my favorite fountain pen suddenly rolled ever so slightly to the left which is odd because the table slopes slightly upward right there. I attribute this to the reported temblor and will cancel the smudging ceremony I had planned to rid my home of the ghosts that were obviously just seismic activity.

    Greenwood and Bridgewater are two separate locations about 100 km apart and on different sides of Nova Scotia. Dibgy is about 90 km further south of Greenwood. It wouldn’t hurt to consult Google Maps before publishing because, ya know, facts are important.
