It’s not all squid-jiggin’ around Conception Bay in Newfoundland.
"‘Teetering Rock,” seldom given a second look by fishermen, is a
never-failing attraction to non-fishing visitors. The rock is balanced
on the side of a hill overlooking Conception Bay. How long it has been
there nobody in Newfoundland knows. How long will it stay there?
‘‘As long as there’s squid-jiggin’ in Conception Bay,” the old-timers say.

what you eat, it may be a sign
you’re neurotic. Psychologists say
normal people have fewer food

tured.
