Chako arrived, today. We picked her up after hangover-reduced start, and took her on a tour of the damage to the city from hurricane Juan. Then we went to the coast and took in the worsening weather brooding over the rocks. I got some good pics.

We have rented a van that has turned out to be reasonably comfortable for the four of us. The big test comes tomorrow when we head for the Cabot Trail, of course.

On the endless saga of Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto; "It shouldn't have had to come to this. I'm so tired of getting up every morning and wondering, 'What will it be today?' I'm so tired of giving the benefit of the doubt again and again, only to be let down again and again.... Somewhere a responsible adult has to appear, draw a bright moral line, tell the truth and say unequivocally what won't be tolerated. Somebody has to do the right thing."
