Wow, what a day!


The temperature in the big smoke and probably most of southern Ontario is in the upper teens today.  Today also happens to be the City of Toronto's 175th birthday and they had a lot of neat stuff going on at Nathan Phillips Square in front of City Hall.  I watched the heavy rescue team of the Toronto Fire Service decapitate a cherry early 90's Park Avenue demonstrating how the jaws of life and the saw of life work.  Let me tell you, that good ol GM sedan put up a hell of a fight, it took them almost 20 minutes to saw through the driver's door hinges.

I also got a couple of pictures on my Blackberry of a 1966 Superior Bonneville ambulance that the Toronto Ambulance Service had on display.  If I can figure out how to post pics from my Blackberry I'll have them up later on today.

People were skating in their shirt sleeves on the artificial ice rink.  I had my first sausage from a hot dog cart of the season and may have even gotten a little sunburned on top of my bald nogan!biggrin  Quite a difference from Timmins where I was for the last couple of days - I've got some pics from that trip to post up as well.wink

But when one flies into Toronto now, as I did yesterday, all you see is green (well, brown) and those little Matterhorns you speak of are man made contraptions any way, so get out there with a shovel at lunch time and get some exercise breaking them up!
