Toronto the Smoky
gods.
there's a 6-alarm fire in the downtown area of Toronto.  For those in the know - its at Queen and Bathurst on the south side.  Looks like that video store there is toast.   burnt toast.  On the way in the smoke covered the CN Tower - blotting it out.  We can smell it all over the city.   Anyway, I was worried about my friend who lives a few blocks away... but E is fine.  whew.
but the smoke! wow.

Scary!!

I'm glad your friend is ok though. And I hope no one was hurt!

Nothing like a little excitement on your commute.

Glad your friend's okay. Hope other folks are, too.

Fires are scary. And I bet your lungs are just thrilled with all the smoke. Oy. Stay inside.

Yep, I'm OK. I live a block and a half east of where the fire was, and on the north side of Queen St. W. But I woke up at 7:30AM yesterday and could sure smell it. Intense. Amazing that no one was seriously injured. So many local businesses wiped out. No more Ali Baba falafel, no records or cheap stereo repairs, nor wacky videos/graphic novels/action figures to rent/buy at Suspect, nor bicycle repairs/supplies at Duke's. I had rented a movie from Suspect Video on the weekend, too. Guess I won't be bringing it back right away.
