The edge of stupidity...



Nova Scotia experienced Hurricane Bill this past weekend. It wasn't as bad as some in the past, but still churned up some extremely high and dangerous waves and surge.

Without fail, these storms bring people out to Peggy's Cove, which is renowned for its desolate beauty. It is also known locally for the fact that during or immediately after the big storms someone gets washed away watching the big waves. This year several people were washed off the rocks, but were lucky to be rescued. Lucky them... stupid them... but lucky.
