May 12: Midnight ride



I rent a car for the day to run errands from Thornhill to Oshawa. I drop off my camera for repairs. Readers, I may be subjecting you to iPhone camera quality for the next couple of weeks.


Having wheels enables me to meet Nancy for a pleasant bento lunch at Sagano.


I discover that there are two Brock exits off the freeway in GTA. There is a rule that streets cannot have the same name in the same city lest there be confusion. But then, General Brock is a significant figure that deserves to be remembered. He led significant battles in the War of 1812. This war between U.S. and the British (leading to what is now Canada) was pivotal in the countries’ histories, ushering in peace that has continued to the present day.


My BIXI key arrives. It may be nigh midnight but I am keen to try out these funky commuter bikes. The three speeds manage to get me up a couple hills. The 30 minutes pass quickly.
