In Halifax, we have a large bridge over which you can walk, and under which large ships pass, in the MacDonald bridge. On a rare occasion or two, I have been walking on that bridge as a big ship passed underneath, making for a cool experience except for the ship exhaust that can be suffocating. We all have face masks to combat that exhaust now, after COVID, and since I was reminded of the experience being near the bridge as a ship passed one day, I have taken an interest to see if I can be over the bridge more often as some of the larger ships coming through passes under. It’s not quite as simple as a schedule presented online, because they don’t update it well, and variance can be by hours, which makes it challenging in the cold winter weather these days as I write this. However, I captured one such experience a month ago on my phone, of a ship leaving. I am hoping to catch one coming in the near future, and an even bigger ship. But for now, I hope this TikTok I made will give you a better idea of what my words were trying to convey.

Life on Controlled Cruise
In a recent night that was one of 78% from which I wake up remembering a dream in 2021, I had a dream about living aboard a cruise ship in my retirement instead of some other place other than where I am now. Like with a few dreams, I thought about it more, but instead of the thinking more like psychoanalysis, it was more like feasibility analysis. And you know what? It just got on my list of possibilities, even if remote due to the costs probably involved unless I were to wait until I was 65 to retire.
