On the crazy driver tip... on my way home from work the other night I'm stopped at Richmond and Bathurst on the yellow waiting for the red to flip and watching the fancy new countdown to fun crosswalk sign... 3... 2... what the sh*t... a minivan jumps the south curb about five cars back and I guess realizing that he's in the wrong lane decides to rectify his poor planning by straddling the curb at top speed . Just as the green comes up and he enters the intersection, he makes a fast right cutting across both lanes of traffic. He continues full on with a slight fish tail north in the right hand turning lane cutting off everyone driving north. Insane.

All that holiday cheer has got people wound up pretty tight. It did strengthen my resolve to keep my earbuds out of my ears in the city.
