At the open house I attended last week, the question of overflow bags was brought up. The Solid Waste manager who was in attendance seemed adamant they would not pick up plastic bags with recycling. The one exception though was cardboard to big to fit inside the bin. They will pick up if left...

In a way, I hope this extension doesnt happen. The BRT to YorkU will be more than sufficient. Sorbara pushed this plan ahead to further his own (and friends) financial position, as they own most of the land where the line runs through. I suspect Flaherty can see this and will give TTC an out...

The last couple of times at the Pape/Danforth branch in the lounge up front, I was able to get online, the signal was not great, but enough to get on successfully. Its amazing how many wireless networks are open access.

I don't miss it one bit. I remember us eager beavers would'nt leave the place till everyone left first. It was expected the rookies stayed to the end which sometimes lasted to midnight. ughhh and those suits we wore all frigging day.
