Realisation #1: Drivers in Toronto suck!!!! I saw at least 3 accidents or near accidents on the 401 in the rain this weekend.

Realisation #2: Hydroplaning is scary as all hell! When I finally got back last night, almost on the island, my car decided to drift from the right hand lane into the left. Luckily, no one was in that lane anywhere near me. The cause; that collection of water in the turn. My fingerprints are now embedded in my steering wheel.

The zoo was cool. We saw a tiger stalk the donkey they were walking by the cage. He wanted meat. The Canadian domain is at the bottom of Mt. Everest, so my legs are still trying to recover from that walk.

My sister’s graduation ceremony was long and boring, especially for a 4 year old. But the awarding of commisions the following day was pretty cool. They did the officer promenade and there were flybys by a couple of propeller planes and a pair of CF-18 Hornets. Also, they fired the Howitzers and rifles. To top things off, a pair of Canadian geese staged their own flyby, which was not planned at all.
