Fast away the old order passes

They were cutting down the Bloor-facing sign at Honest Ed's this afternoon. Many people were out with cell phones and video cameras to record them doing it. Honest Ed's frontage had a million lights that twirled cheerfully about the red and yellow signage. Yes, it was garish, but it was an innocent garish, as the hokiness of Ed's signs was an innocent hokiness. The suits on Bay St would never do such a thing, and never would have done such a thing, and that's why Ed was a Toronto institution and the suits are the reason non-Torontonians spit at the mention of Toronto.

Also I have lost my watch, unless the backpack of holding has swallowed it again. I took it off at acupuncture last night and failed, as I often do, to put it back on; and as I put it in the open side pocket, the odds of it slipping out are very good indeed. People nowadays use their phones; I can only say, there's no comparison.
