I feel like I'm in 1986 asking this, but my Aunt is looking for a mini Am FM radio she can listen to while she's in the hospital. It would be one with headphones and ideally be digital. However, I can't seem to locate any. Anyone have any ideas?

Yeah, we Torontonians are such wimps, it is true. We will never live down that time Mel Lastman called in the troops for what turned out to be a 10 cm flurry. In his defence, the storm that hit a couple of weeks before that one was really bad and the city was basically shut down. I must have helped move at least 25 cars off of the street car tracks along Queen street.
Too much snow + stupid drivers = wheels parked on the tracks.

today is a perfect hibernation day - only outside to let the dog out. riding in this weather would be more stressful than fun or practical, which is my que to leave the bike indoors.

I am not sure if it irony or what but on the way to pick up the rollers, I found a TTC metropass on the ground. Maybe someone is trying to tell me something....

I was tempted to ride down to little India until I saw AdventureBoy TM scream by in his Suburban Adventure Vehicle. Doubtless on his way to pick up drycleaning or some other tribulation.
And the city grader just went by and filled the bike lane.

I was shoveling the snow, and there were trucks after trucks, fishtailing and speeding across Hallam. Seems that they have finally found conditions suitable for a oversized urban assault truck.
Who has toboggans?

I can only imagine how many people are hitting the "4WD" button for the first time today and thinking it'll magically give them the ability to drive like a pro. Get ready to dodge some out of control SUVs, everybody.
