There are sights and then there are sights
Walking down Jarvis Street, we saw a man on hands and knees looking to be licking the pavement. A little later, at a nearby street corner, we saw a bunch of the most broken down looking people I have ever seen. They were major league in their addict appearance.
The pigeons in this city swoop really low. On a few occasions I ducked as they flew over me.
A lot of tourists here. A lot of diversity.
There is a clothing optional beach on the islands. On the Ferry back to the downtown, I saw this old guy who must have frequented that beach since the seventies. Good lord, he was a sad sight.

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

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.

Glen Gould
It was with disgust that I walked past the See Bee Sea building. But I had to see at the Glen Gould bench.
