Whole Lot of Shaking....

There were reports of a 5point earthquake centred in Quebec. The effects were felt as far as Cleveland , OH.
Here in Scarborough, the quake broke a coffee pot. M claims the tremors shattered the glass carafe. Unfortunately, the carafe was broken at 8: 30 sitting in the dishwasher and the quake was timed at 9:45. However, M assures me that a pre-quake may have been responsible.

The day is sunny , and slightly windy ( no doubt caused by the earthquake ) , so another fine spring day.

Our mayor is facing allegations that a video that is available for purchase ( no one is willing to buy it ) shows our Mayor Rob , smoking crack cocaine. I wouldn't even know what this would look like , however , those that do , say Yes, he's doing it .

Toronto's casino bid is hot news. The major thrust is a downtown casino in T.O. The thinking is that the revenue will fund infrastructure , roads , transit etc. T.O. wants a hosting fee of $100 million per year. This amount would be a potentially , higher fee than allowed elsewhere , in the province. OMG , treating T.O. differently , than anyone else , the thought is mind boggling.

Our loaner pandas, are now on display. The panda food is flown in 2 X a week. Apparently, the pandas eat chopsticks - well , bamboo, shipped from their home range. T.O. has them for 5 yrs and then they go to Alberta - they'll freeze there , I mean Alberta. Temps in Alberta , hit - 40 C.

Shoe , bizarre , continues to-day , I go to try the size 7 running shoes on Mom.
