Definitions of Dirt My husband and I live in Ontario, and one year we decided it was finally time to visit Newfoundland. Before arriving in Newfoundland, we drove over the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia, where a lot of construction was going on. After two weeks of that, our car was covered in dirt. We crossed on the Marine Atlantic ferry to Port aux Basques, NL, and after spending the night in Codroy Valley, we arrived in Corner Brook. There we filled the car with gas and I said, “We have to get the car washed.” I told the car wash attendant we needed a car wash just to get the dirt off. A gentleman standing in the office told me, “My dear! There is no dirt in Newfoundland. The only dirt here is what you’ll hear on the radio!” Betty Kellestine Ontario
