The landscape around Toronto is fairly flat, and in general around Lake Ontario you don't get many hills. This means that driving along the highways you can see quite a long way, much further than in hilly old England. Perhaps that's why the country feels larger (even though it certainly is). If you go west for a couple of thousand miles, you hit the Rockies, and hilly doesn't begin to describe those. Not that I've seen them other than from the window of a jet. Still, working on that one.
So here's a cartoon mentioning Toronto ...
Thought another image may break up the text.
If I get a moment, I'll start to hack the css of the blog template. If anyone knows a decent css primer, please drop me a line.
Bluejays bombed yesterday, going down 7-0 in their opening game. I'm not a huge baseball fan, but I'll watch it, which is more than can be said for basketball or American football/gridiron/carryball. [It's called "football" why, exactly? A foot touches the ball less than a dozen times a game, typically. I say, call it "carryball". Much more accurate.] I wouldn't mind seeing games at other cities, or the Jays if it's a good day out, but not really day-to-day devotion to the game. Sure I'll cheer on the Jays, but not with a season ticket :-)
Yesterday's link to "Mix 99.9" now has an mp3 you can download and listen to, but it's not the "We'll be watching you" thing, it's another Leafs song - specifically bashing the Ottawa Senators. Quite good, but I wish they'd post the Police one. Maybe I'll email them, heheh.
Toodle-pip.
