Pimped Up Scooter

            On the Saturday evening of September 3^rd the only clouds were a faint purplish band running along the horizon over the distant lake to the south.

            I rode to Springdale and Glebemount.

            On Danforth, near Coxwell is the Sharing Depot: the Library of Things. For fifty dollars a year one can borrow for a week at a time all kinds of items, such as camping and sports equipment, games and toys.

            Danforth and Bloor were full of shuttle busses, because the subway wasn’t running. At Yonge Street there was a line-up for the eastbound bus that stretched two-thirds of the way down to Charles Street.

            A vespa passed me going south at around Gerrard and Yonge. It was blasting rock and roll music and both the driver and passenger were tapping their feet to the beat at the light. The scooter had seven rear view mirrors on each side and attached to the aerial at the back was a raccoon tail.

            On Sunday, September 4th I went for my bike ride under a boringly clear sky.

            There wasn’t a lot of bike traffic on Bloor or Danforth, but there were lots of shuttle busses to pass or sit behind. No big line-ups of passengers like the day before though.

            I rode to Sammon and Glebemount, and all the side streets that I explored in the area were pretty quiet.
