I had a couple of hours to kill between checking out and my train, so I went looking for signs of the Fall. I think I was a week or two too early. The blip is of the River Medway, which is a tributary of the Thames. In London. Ontario.

This evening I went for a really excellent Chinese meal in Toronto. One course was a whole lobster, claws and all, the eating of which with chopsticks seemed an utterly impossible task. I quickly gave up and resorted to knife and fork, but my companion kept at it. If I was even more cynical than I am, I would suspect that smart Chinese restaurants sometimes present impossible challenges to westerners for the amusement of the staff.
