twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2017.10.17

Today I counted 5 cell-phone holders as I passed 49 cars - and one person eating with a spoon from a glass bowl. I don't know if the latter qualifies as "distracted driving" but I wonder.

rand()m quote

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."
