So Misguided

I’m off the grid. No laptop, no cellphone, at large and unreachable. It is kind of fun, yet forces me to mooch laptop time and find quarters for the telephone. Totally old school.

This is the second time I’ve typed this post. I’m using a laptop that randomly hits the enter key, which means it randomly lost my first attempt at this post. Like the iPod Shuffle, life is random.

So the first time I typed this I wrote about Hanif, the friendly neighbourhood convenience store owner who is an endless source of information about the transit system. I also wrote about how every time I’m in Toronto someone is on strike. It’s the taxis this time. And it is rumoured the electric company might strike. All entertaining in an inconvenient way.

That’s all you get, I’m less enthusiastic the second time around, but damn it was a good original post. 

Hmmm.... haven’t heard about any electric company strike. That would be a drag.

Re: taxis on strike. I think you mean the airport limo drivers who are protesting around Pearson International Airport, and causing delays for people trying to get to and leave the airport. The protest has something to do with the way Pearson has been giving out liscences to limo companies, instead of to individual drivers.

As far as I know, the regular Toronto cabbie driver is still available!

Hope you enjoy your stay here in Toronto.

Gandhi would be proud! These taxi drivers are making a statement with nonviolent action through noncooperation.

Speaking of empowering one’s self...Monique,this page is always an interesting read. And because sympatico is so slow to load, SoMisguided is now the homepage for Crazy Craig. Good Work superstar and thanks for all your help in helping me save the world.

Patricia, I didn’t know you were in Toronto. Next time I come let’s go for drinks.

And Crazy Craig, thanks for putting somisguided as the home page. Exciting and flattering.

It’s a date, Monique!  Sorry I didn’t mention that sooner. Hope BookExpo went well.
