urinating on a streetcar

Toronto, 2026.08.28

We visited with the Sleeuws this afternoon. Ken is pretty rundown with the cold we've all had; he was the last to start showing symptoms and will I suppose be the last dealing with it. So we left as evening fell, and took the streetcar along Queen.

Sitting across from me was a disheveled young lady that seemed either to be rambling to herself or speaking on a bluetooth earphone/mic combo. She settled the question at one point by pulling down her pants for a pee. You can't speak to the driver in the current streetcars, so when it was our turn to get out we just left. A friend from work told me a few weeks ago that he was heading to Canada, I mentioned the various people of different mental health that he might find - this was certainly a new experience for me.
