It's the Great Pumpkin, Martha Stewart!

Grave disappointment in Nova Scotia yesterday. The CBC reported that after a week of negotiations to secure entrance to Canada, despite her criminal record, Martha Stewart's private plane was grounded in Bar Harbor, Maine, due to the terrible weather.

She was due to take part in Windsor's annual
Pumpkin Regatta, and paddle a hollowed-out, gaily-decorated, 660 lb. whopper (supplied by Howard Dill, grower of the World's Largest Pumpkins™) across a lake. But in the end, one of her producers had to step in and do it for her.

Sometimes it's impossible to pretend that I'm not living in a wretched provincial backwater. This is definitely one of those times. ;-)
