This podcast is supported by CKCU 93.1 in Ottawa, where I host Back 40, uh, celebrating 35 years in your ears and our station 50 years.

Sounds Atlantic is also available on Radio VOBB 95.9 FM in Norris Point, Newfoundland.

And I'm your host, Ron Moore, and I would welcome any comments via fan mail, or you, that, you'll see that on the site from my Facebook page.

And as always, I urge you to keep on the sunny side.

And

as that, so you, I mean, you grew up, out west was that part of your childhood hanging out by the cabin so just so you know I love that style I had a cabin for a little bit I can't get around to it now we call them cabins over here even big cottages but I mean I enjoy that and I make sure I went to Norris Point with Jeremy Charles this summer always make sure to get out but growing up like dad wasn't into that like he couldn't turn on a like ATV or you know I don't know if he knows how to use a saw you know Not that I'm going up there to build, but just nothing outside of normal rural living, city living, I guess you could say.

I mean, we're on the outskirts.

You know, we're in Mount Pearl.

Are people in Newfoundland still, to a large degree, living like that outside of the urban centers? Or do you find in these outposts people are still doing that?

Yeah, I'm actually here in Norris Point right now, which is on the west coast of the island.

about seven hours outside of St. John's in, uh, Gros Morin National Park.

And, uh, but yeah, just, you know, you get outside of St. John's and people are definitely still, uh, you know, growing their gardens and, and root sellers and, um, you know, uh, out getting their fish that we had the moratorium and thankfully we're able to go out now again and, and still have a food fishery for, uh, for people who live here and people salt their fish and, um, you know, shoot a moose in the fall and trap rabbits.

You mentioned lobster.

I saw somewhere you're doing a lobster truck.

Is that right? Is that why you're up in Norris Point?

Yeah, that's right.
