Second day of fall, a beautiful sunny day, and what did I see today on Pie IX boulevard but my first driveway igloo. How depressing is that? ( I forgot to take a picture but you all know what a driveway igloo looks like). And as if I needed any further confirmation that winter is just around the corner, I see that they’ve already attached the yellow height extenders to the fire hydrants to make them visible in snowdrifts, although the fire hydrant on the right seems to be having a bit of a pout about winter arriving so soon and has lowered its extender to half mast in protest. So today’s flight plan was, up Pie IX Blvd. from the Pie IX metro to Masson, left on Masson, left on Molson, then right on St. Joseph to the Laurier metro. Approx 8.5 km. Took me an hour and a half (counting 2 pit stops). Now that I’m shlepping out to areas of the city I don’t know at all, an hour on the metro and bus just to get me started on my walk, I appreciated the new digital gizmo on the busses that shows a readout of the next stop coming up and announces it in a sweet feminine voice. It’s been a long time coming. I saw a few of these fancy street signs on Masson. Wonder who you have to bribe to get one like it in your neighbourhood? Finally, planter? real bike? Can't decide.
