The Winds of Change
So here in TO, we got shellacked last night by this wicked storm that came out of nowhere. There was crazy lightning, thunder, and buckets of rain and hail. Then, when it all stopped, the wind came. Now, this wasn't just any wind. This was 'crazy wind'. The kind of wind that clears balconies of furniture, knocks down trees, and moves parked cars... well, not quite the last one, but you get the idea. It was at its worst around 6am when I thought my 18 story apartment building was pooched.
The other funny thing that happened last night was when I went 5 pin bowling with Jen, Jana, Par, Ryan and Heidi. We went to a place in North Toronto (Yonge and Cummer, "Bowlerama") and we were charged $3 each for the shoe rental and then $18.33 for the lane... per hour!! Does that seem REALLY expensive to anyone else? It's safe to say we won't go back. The alley sucked pretty suckily too.
Ah, the good ol' days of Waterloo Lanes. I can still hear the turkeys clucking on the automated scoreboard (which Bowlerama DIDN'T have). To make things worse, I couldn't get a strike to save my life. I should have used my rocket launcher.
