Traffic backed up for miles on the freeway on my morning commute. Why? Because there was an accident.
Going the other way.
Nothing happened in my lanes; it was all across the median divider way the fok up there.
People are cockroaches.

Haven't taken my motorcycle to work in over a week. Traffic is so bad 24/7 because of CNE and construction on the Gardiner. Much faster to just walk.
This sucks. I wanna go brambrambraaaam.
High hopes for next week with CNE closing up shop.

This is the worst thing about Toronto and the GTA in general, the traffic.
I don't miss it, the traffic that is, I miss my hometown mucho.
I used to drive for a living and it was extremely stressful most of the time driving in and around the city. That was one of the things I really liked about Saskatchewan, no traffic, ever, anywhere. I used to literally chuckle out loud when I drove in to Moosomin SK from Rocanville as I approched a "major" 4 way stop and there was never another car there to wait for.
Traffic in Windsor is busy for about 45 minutes a day in a couple of locations, not hard to deal with tho.
Speaking of Toronto, I'll be visiting around the 30th of the month - I'm going to Niagara Falls to stay with my parents for a couple of weeks for their 50th wedding anniversary 2nd week in Oct. I'll be driving my mother to Toronto on the 30th so she can meet up with some friends for a social event. Gonna hang out in Etobicoke for a bit and then may venture into the core for a bit.
Marty, perhaps we can meet for a brew, Quincy too if possible.

Damn man. Palau has changed their capital city.
Used to be Melekeok but I was just doing a sporcle where it names the city and you name the country ---> suddenly Ngerulmud comes up.
WTF?
Long story short, I get to the end and I have to give up on that one ---> Palau.
Sure enough, no Melekeok anywhere. Ngerulmud Palau is what it is now.
