This Day in History: May 18

On this day in 1783, the first United Empire Loyalists, known to American Patriots as Tories, arrive in Canada to take refuge under the British crown in Parrtown, Saint John, Nova Scotia (now New Brunswick), Canada. The town was located on the Bay of Fundy just north of the border with what is now the state of Maine.

Which may explain some of the differences in national psyches...

I also forgot to post yesterday's May 17 entry. Workin' 7 days a week here, with hours in double-digits. I'm bound to forget something...
