I walked by an outdoor garbage can on the campus and watched a caretaker heave the bag out, while standing on the concrete container with her feet braced on either side. “A bag full of water!” she exclaimed as I passed her. The strike is over, but the rains are not.
Someone told me that there are two seasons in Toronto: Winter and Construction. I’ve been thinking of that lately, as I can barely walk a block without detouring around a construction site. In some ways, I am looking forward to winter. At least the streets are quieter.
We had dinner at “Ruth’s Chris Steak House” this past week. This is what their website says: “Ruth’s Chris Steak House” is such a tongue-twister that one restaurant critic suggested it be used as a sobriety test: anyone who could say that name three times certainly couldn’t be intoxicated.” Anyway, Ruth’s Chris makes good steak! (who is Chris anyway?)
Did anyone notice when parking tickets started being printed on plastic strips?! And can someone explain to me how that is environmentally friendly?
Is there a difference between “This finished product was not tested on animals” and “Not tested on animals”? In which case are the lab rats happier? (It’s not a rhetorical question. I actually don’t know.)
