the goodness

Just a small note for all those seeking to obtain TTC services for free (and if you're not drunk and broke, which seems to get you on as well, although if you're homeless I don't know if that still applies), just wait for the northbound streetcar at Spadina and Harbord at about 7pm on a Tuesday night.  When the doors open, you'll see a mass of bodies surrounding the driver, spilling down onto the stairs. Canadians are not familiar with the concept of making room where there is none, so you'll probably be alone in crushing yourself between some guy on the stairs and the doors that will in all probability close on you, but are so flimsy it doesn't even hurt. And of course there's no way you can even get close enough to the driver to give him your fare, so you can get a free ride on the subway!

.....My metropass is pointless.....  

No, but really... they need to start sending more streetcars up at that time. Cee-razy.

A second point for tonight is my discovery that Tim Hortons coffee actually sucks. I'd only ever sipped on one Tim's coffee before today, and that time I thought something was wrong with the coffee, as it seemed to have acquired the taste of the paper cup surrounding it.  However, today I had some that was brewed at the office and became aware that that's just how Tim's coffee tastes. Wow. What a disappointment.  Can I still call myself Canadian if I hate Tim's coffee? 

... i still like the doughnuts... don't hurt me...
