I don't know how some drivers can be so bold. If you make a directional mistake you should find a safe and appropriate place to correct yourself. Don't get me wrong, I've made a U-turn or two in my day, but only when I felt the roads were open enough and it was safe. Turning onto Vaughan from Oakwood there is a lane going straight and a lane going left with an advanced green. I was in the left lane and while our light was red the guy beside me did a U-turn in front of me to head back North up Oakwood. 4 seconds later it was green for me and I had an advanced light. If he had been mid-illegal-jerk-move I could have hit him, and that pisses me off.
3 people today at work got fired. It's possible that one quit, but it doesn't make me feel good about where I'm working. Not good at all. Once again I have something thinking to do. Some soul searching perhaps.
I took the collectors home today because I have come to distrust the hwy alert signs. Whenever it says both Express and Collectors are very slow I take Collectors. Turns out they lied (big surprise) and Express was WIDE open, while Collectors crawled at a speed slower than a car that is not accelerating. Just as I was thinking, "Sure would be nice to hop that hwy divider" a 4x4 did just that. At an opening between cement fences he took life by the balls and merged into the fast lane. I was jealous. It was slow because the 427S was closed for diplomats. I actually got a little peak at a motorcade being escorted by police. I'm not anti-G20, but if you've seen the fences they have built downtown it's scary and creepy. Total police state.

Having read your blog entry for June 23rd, I can first and foremost say that I am inspired, dazzled, and - dare I say - galvanized by your acute reviews of both, the film entitled, "Pirate Radio", as well as your poignant statement on George Clooney's indy shot to fame - "Men Who Stare at Goats." WTF indeed.
Positively ducky.
Mr. Crisman
What a mess downtown was this weekend. I'll never understand why Harper chose to have it in downtown Toronto where it would inconvenience the greatest number of people.
Mr. Crisman,
Thank you kindly for gracing this post with your presence. I tried to be as thoughtful and thorough as possible in my review of each movie. I'm glad you received them well.
Good day, and I will see you soon.
JG
