Toronto, 2014.06.13

I got doored by someone emerging from a taxi, today; I pulled out of it but it's still dangerous and annoying. I was on Queen Street, trying to cross the very center of the city, so I wasn't really surprised. In fact, I saw it coming in the sudden way the taxi jerked to the curb; he wasn't looking and his fare was in a hurry. I managed to stop without colliding, but I wasn't entirely able to stop my self from bellowing at the witless passenger.

Three good things that happened today:

  1. Dodged a collision with a car door
  2. Picked up a roll of film with some nice pics
  3. Had a nice 20km trip with beautiful weather

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.
