Churchhill Falls.....Impressions of the town

Man of action not letters forgot to mention that the whole town of Churchhill Falls is owned by the power company. All the homes are rented from the company and all but three small businesses are controlled by the company. 600 people in the town are virtually all controlled by the power company. Guess what happens when you retire. You leave. No retiring in Churchhill Falls. Boog and I found the atmosphere a little constraining. Beav thought it was just like home in the military. The gang once again ran afoul of the law. Decided to take a walk to the pub, one of the three private establishment on the "compound" only to find it closed. Not to be denied the slakeing of our thirst we stop by a mini-mart and buy a sixer of the very drinkable Alexander Keith IPA. Well as luck would have it, there was no place to open the first bottle in doors so I decide to imbibe on the walk back to the "company" hotel. Admittedly I was warned that it was frowned on to drink in public. What I didn't know was the clerk ratted me out to the RCMP and I was busted within 50 feet of the store while walking and very descretely enjoying my illicit beverage. These people need to have more to do. He asked me if it was OK to drink beer in public where I was from and I explained that it most certainly was. He allowed as how it was against some statute here but that he would give me as pass. Boog and beaver continue to be law abiding but it just some how pisses me off when people are petty. I'll grow up some day...........smoke
