Cape Tormentine 

A nearly abandoned town on the Atlantic Coast. Prior to the opening of the Confederation Bridge to PEI it was a booming town due to the ferry service running to PEI which provided many jobs for the people and helped its economy. When the bridge was finished and opened in 1997 the ferry service was shut down and over 600 people lost their jobs as a result. Faced with no jobs most people were forced to leave the town and find employment elsewhere. Most of the ferry terminal and wharf structures were dismantled as well as most of the buildings in the town except for a few which are slowly decaying. It is essentially a ghost town now except for the last holdouts,fishermen and a crumbling wharf and a few buildings left to tell of what once was.
I went to Cape Tormentine it was deadly still and I did not see a single soul while I was there.

moral turpentine

The evangelical preacher was an inveterate thief and a serial child molester. Still. the application of a little moral turpentine assured his place in Heaven. He was always careful to pray extra hard after what he'd call an incident.

turpentine cat 

Term used by people of the Southern persuasion to identify something moving at a pace that borders on the supernatural. First seen in the 1920's when a group of men rubbed a cat's cinnamon ring with a dried out corncob until it was raw, and then wiped it with a rag soaked in turpentine. Can be used interchangeably with raped ape
