During a power failure, I was walking all the way up Toronto's Yonge Street from Dundas to Davisville.

I was taking a photo of a gas station attendant selling drinks and ice cream from a freezer in front of the station. The attendant didn't like that, and came running out to stop me. This is the photo I wound up with.

It's weird, man. People can watch a movie where thousands of people die in a war and not a tear. Yet one collie dies .. and the entire nation collapses with grief.
