Wearing my Wheat Kings T-Shirt


 I wore my Wheat Kings t-shirt to the HHOF.  It got me three reactions.

One. A lady saw it and said Brandon was her hometown.

Two. A clerk at the Tim Horton’s by the HHOF, asked if it was a Tragically Hip t-shirt.  The band has a song entitled Wheat Kings.  I explained that it wasn’t but I knew the connection.  In fact, I once bought a Wheat Kings cap (from the hockey team) for someone in BC because of the song.  The talk lead to a discussion of bands we had seen.

Three. Looking at a display of hockey pucks, a person from Saskatchewan noticed my t-shirt.

Toronto Islands


 Here is the view from the Ferry.



Here I am at the Southern pier:




A view of downtown from the islands.



Hockey Hall of Fame 3

 I liked the HHOF’s selection of national team jerseys.












Toronto City Hall




 Later, I saw a sign denouncing the mayor Olivia Chow.

Speaking of pols, I came across a statue of Winston Churchill.




Hockey Halk of Fame 1



 Basically, it is a place filled with a whole lot of hockey memorabilia.




6:26 AM View


 Nice to see the sights but downtown Toronto is full of beggars and homeless and crazy people.  I saw a woman sleeping in grass, a man sleeping on a pillow using one of his sneakers as a pillow, and a lot of people screaming for no reason.


Here’s the view from the view.
