Pretty much. People are making it out to be like the panacea to end congestion. Its application in reality is so limited. Link to post Share on other sites

I really hate traffic jams. Might explain why I only hang around my area The stuff I dealt with in Chicago was mind blowing. Traffic everywhere. Was even worst than DC during rush hour and imo LA. I find Toronto traffic manageable in comparison with those cities. I can't comment on China since I have never been Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 This new park decking over the rail corridor sounds amazing and all, but boy am I skeptical of Tory et al. It's become his MO to announce amazing things, conveniently ignore finding, say we're going to ask the province and the feds, and then see it get watered down, or eliminated all together as the budget plays out. He did this with TTC improvements. He's happy to go and announce all of the capacity improvements on bus routes, but when the budget rolls around, he and his cronies quietly claw all the funding back and the improvements don't happen. But nobody notices because it's not publicized. Tory is basically Ford ideologically, but with better tact. Link to post Share on other sites

Babying 613 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 It is extremely rare for me to ever be alone however this afternoon I have been alone for 6 hours. It is the reason I went to play live poker. Now I am sweating out on one of my daily baseball bets. It can be a huge winning day if this hits. Link to post Share on other sites

Babying 613 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 who are we rooting for ? Been on a decent run in MLB. After the all star game I lost quite a bit but actually regain it plus some. Some folks might know how much I wager and to be honest it is my usual way I sports gamble. I had the over on the Texas/Houston game at 8 for a few dollars. I will take the push because of how it started. However I should have won. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I have completely forgotten on deadlines etc for Universities. I saw Otto's York statement and paid the full amount. I than realized that the Min payment due was zero and the Fall session fees are not due until Sep 10 and the Winter fees are not due until Jan 10/17. I don't mind paying it but not 5 months in advance Link to post Share on other sites

Babying 613 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I had a chance to play angus glen yesterday. I have never ever played on a course like this. I truly soaked in the experience. I played extremely bad and shot 102 However the last 3 holes I was one under. Most likely should have been 2 under and a chance to birdie out but my putter fail me Through out the round all I could think was that the pros played here Link to post Share on other sites
