Oh and I agree on rob the red paperclip guy was totally fabericated.

Story from the road for the day. Pounding up Yonge to do my last 2 drops on bloor and people start pouring onto the streets from the subway. From queen to Dundas it turned into pedestrian hell apparently the subway was having problems. So it was totally a meat pylon run up to bloor.

That is all.

I'll be at cavern tomorrow after work to pick up my double cross. I'm going to have to leave my fixie at work and come pick it up next week (gasp!), so I'll be walking to cavern and then riding a gearie home so that should be fun.

I was blown away when I walked out of the office to front and bay. The entire intersection was a sea of people. It was like a documentary shot of some city in china or something. The roads were totally corked by a critical mass of drivers so I was lanesplitting and clipping every few cars with the fender strapped to my bag. OOPS! I also saw jeremy/darkmother tearing along bloor street going west so he is still alive and well.

This situation shows how when you get rid of the subway, the city basically shuts down, so if you improved subway service, the city would actually run properly.
