The Wire Season 2 Episode 5 “Undertow”

[cainsign]

Listen to me I am sick of your dumb ass reincarnating as animals over and over again and coming to visit me at my house as a supposed "sign of your presence" I keep killing the things you come back as every time on purpose I do not want a dog to live here nor a cat nor a beautiful bird nor that which crawls beneath the Earth. We're THROUGH. The relationship ended when your life as a human did. I get that you want to keep this "Twin flame" soul mate reincarnation bullshit afloat but 1. I will not be returning to the cycle of death and rebirth due to my dark heart AND 2. Even if I did come back, good luck being born a human around the same time as me once more. Asshole. I'm salting the earth around my yard so that from the ground no plants may grow and from there comes no germs from plants, no bugs from germs, no birds from bugs, no beasts from birds. No you.

Okay, five distinct packs of highly aggressive wild dogs that numbering in the thousands each suddenly being formed and just roving across the country in waves and fucking every person and animal they encounter to death then dragging the bodies off to an unknown underground location so that none were ever recovered was NOT on my 2025 bingo,

Bluenose, the pride of Canada

Bluenose was a deep- sea fishing schooner that won a special place in the heart of all Canadians during the depths of the Great Depression, an admiration that continues to this day. It all began with a small item in the sports page of New York paper in 1919 announcing that the America’s Cup race had been postponed because of a blow that would barley tickle the sails of a saltbank schooner. The men of the fishing fleets of Gloucester in Massachusetts and Lunenburg in Nova Scotia were outspoken in their scorn. Competition between the two communities had always been fierce and here was the perfect excuse to have a race between real working schooner. In 1920 the International Fishermen’s Race was organised, and that year the schooner Esperanto out of Gloucester defeated the Delewana of Lunenburg and took the trophy to New England.

The Bluenose schooner at the 1921 Nova Scotia Elimination Trials, held off Halifax in October (x)

No one in the north wanted to let that sit on their hands and hopes of a victory were raised in the following spring. Named after a legend that fishermen had blue noses because of the cold weather of the Grand Banks where they worked. The Bluenose entered the race under Captain and part owner Angus Walters. She was constructed by traditional methods using local timbers, and had, of course, the sturdy build of a working schooner. Her lines were sweet, however, and she was fast, with a 386 m² big main sail, achieving her best speed under a strong blow beating to windward. In 1921 she raced twice against Elsie in the waters off Halifax. Bluenose took both races with a good margin and even reduced sail to match the American vessel during one race when her opponent temporarily go into difficulty. Bluenose was a witch in the wind and nothing could catch her. Btw Walters had only master’s papers for home waters, Bluenose in some international races was sometimes under the command of the deepsea Lunenburg captain George Myra until the schooner reached the racing port.

Undefeated in all the International Fishermen’s trophy series held between 1921-1938, she became an enduring symbol of Canada’s maritime spirit. In 1929 the Canadian Postal Service issued a distinctive blue stamp to honour the vessel’s racing record, and in 1937 she appeared in full sail on the Canadian dime.

Bluenose’s fame was not confined to Nort America and Canada. She officially represented her country at hte World’s Fair in 1933 and the Silver Jubilee of King George in 1935. 1938 was a difficult year for her and even lost two out of five races against the Gertrude L. Thebuad. The last race, however, was finally won by Bluenose.  Unfortunately, Walters had to sell her in that year due to the emergence of motorised trawlers. She remained in Lunenburg until 1942, when she was bought by the West Indies Trading Company. Then her masts were cut and an engine installed. She was then used to transport goods between Canada and the Caribbean until she ran onto a reef off Haiti on 28 January 1946 and sank, some say due to voodoo.

But her name still lives on. The reverse side of the Candian dime still proudly bears her image. In 1963, a replica of the Bluenose was built in Lunenburg from the original plans of the Bluenose and named Bluenose II.  Theese was sold to the Nova Scotia government in 1971 for the sum of $1.

The replica schooner was used as a sailing ambassador for tourism promotion. This vessel was decommissioned and broken up in 2010, and an entirely new Bluenose (also called Bluenose II, as she is classified as a “reconstruction” ) was built as close as possible to the original schooner and launched in Lunenburg in 2013. After attempts had been made since 2007 to build a new Bluenose IV (III was already occupied elsewhere), which was not successful.
