Wednesday night. Richmond & Portland. Cyclist passes on the right side of a van turning right. Cyclist stops, gestures at the van, turns to me, mutters something about not looking and I reply back to him "You saw the van turning too!" He just shrugged and went about his way. I don't understand...

As a King & Spadina resident, primarily a walker, frequent TTC user and occasional car driver, I haven't minded the King St pilot one bit. I was already doing convoluted driving from and to my place already. This doesn't really change much. One thing that needs to be changed is parking along...

Two jobs ago it was a six minute walk. The previous job was a 30-60+ minute drive from downtown to the airport area. (That was a long 10 months.) Now it's a two minute walk. :D

We got a whole whack of them banging on our doors. I ignored them all. I went to the advanced poll in Ward 20 on Sunday. I didn't want to deal with the annoying hell of one polling location (Metro Hall) on election night. Anyways, I was a bit surprised to have been approached by Sarah Thomson...

The left turn from Lakeshore E on to Fort York Blvd recently changed to six seconds. SIX SECONDS! It's enough to get about three cars through resulting in a long line of cars waiting in the left turn lane. It's been like that for two weeks now. When changes like these are made does anyone...

I think what some of you don't understand is that some of us deal with this every day, sometimes twice a day or more depending on where you're going. It gets irritating after a while. Particularly when they blurt out some stupid nonsense to try to get you to stop. Enough already! I wish people...

Now that spring is almost here, I'd say we should dump him on a passing iceberg and let nature take it's course...

Looking forward to it!

For me, the king of all transfers was a one kilometre walk in Tokyo between subway stations. I couldn't believe it when I saw the sign.

I wish the access to Lakeshore from that ramp would be opened up. There's been too many times where a trip from around Oakville to the ramp is the same amount of time as from the ramp to King & Spadina during busy times.

Sure it does. It removes people from the YUS line. Since I both live and work downtown I don't take the subway a lot anymore. I used to before 2005 and for the few times in the past few years I have taken it during rush hour the difference now is rather remarkable. I've taken the subway numerous...

I never think about that. If you thought about all the possible things that could go wrong with anything while you're out you'll be stuck home under the bed sheets. That being said I do consider rollercoasters safer than skydiving. :p I have freaked out before when I was 13-15 on the giant...

Interesting to read the reactions to Leviathan. I rode Millenium Force at Cedar Point years ago as my introduction to *HUGE* coasters. (Previous biggest coaster was Superman at Darien Lake, all the Canada's Wonderland coasters were puny in comparison at the time.) Very similar reaction. The hill...

I know and there's a Shopper's at King & Peter. I still want a 7-11 or a Mac's in the area.

Can one of these condo buildings in the area PLEASE put in a large 7-11 or Mac's?! Killing off the Petro Canada would be good too. Just don't touch the Shell across the street. I use that one once or twice a month. :D

Two floor LCBO? :D Of course I'd still prefer a mega five floor LCBO. 1: Mixed usual (crappy) suspects for quick in & out 2: Beer 3: Wine 4: Vintages 5: Spirits *sigh*

Isabella Rossellini last night walking along King St. W just west of the Lightbox.

First TIFF sighting, Michael Phillips, one of the hosts of At The Movies (now defunct), walking along King St near Peter. I suspect there'll be more since I live and work near the Lightbox.

I have two rules about suicide: 1) Don't take anyone with you 2) Don't inconvenience the public You don't have any say coming into this world but you should have a say when you want to exit it. My preference is to allow doctor assisted suicides. Aside from not violating either of those two...

Except being potentially walloped by a car or truck outweighs the irrititation factor of being solicitated for money. Besides I live so close to work that cycling is pointless.
