Toronto, 2011.01.27

On this, the 27th, I went on a seven-collecting mission.

I left the office at 370 King St and went to the consulate at 77 King St and picked up the certificates from the Japanese consulate. Then I went to 777 Bay Street to the "Services Ontario" office to get my Ontario license. But their computer system was inoperative and the woman told me that there would be a two hour wait if I stayed. She recommended that I come back some time before .. 7. Since I'd accrued seven 7's, I picked up some jerk chicken. Which was quite good.

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.
