What are you looking at?

When you look at yourself in the mirror dear reader, what do you see?
Essentially, are you ‘happy’ with how you show up?
This fool usually finds a black head or blemish. Some are older than my kids and still going strong. I will need to be careful and keep Exxon away from my face.
We spend a lot of time working on how we’re seen. Whether it’s the hat on our head, dress up trucks or the clothes that we drive, it seems we’d love to control how other people see us.
It’s like each and every one of us has our own PR department.
The remote parts of rural Nova Scotia are no different.
Carl Hubley is no different.

I have never jacked deer and have offered to take a polygraph test about this and my character. At this point it has never been requested.
I find this very upsetting and feels compelled to address…
