pan-am games already getting on my nerves

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2015.06.17

Today I witnessed a cyclist take a tumble as he navigated some unannounced barriers on our route. The barriers were from the spreading mess that is the athletes' village. If they completely close Cherry street, I will have lost my second route to work in three weeks.

I'm betting that they will in fact close it, more's the pity.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
