Jerky jerks who drive jerking cars

You might remember that I think people who drive less than 2km to the GO station are stupid. I encountered a prime example of this behaviour this morning. About 10 houses up the street from me, and along my daily walking route, lives a husband and wife who leave for work every morning in separate […]

For those who don’t know, right across the path from the garden is the patio of an expensive French restaurant. I’m sure […]
