You know I would love to go to the stronghold York this weekend, just to see your black boots, but alas, I have volunteered to seek my own little riches this weekend, with working at ten thousand villages and Sunday at family day here at work....

You could always ask me to walk your plank another time?

Walk my plank? Surely you don't expect it would be a fatal encounter Capt. James?

No fatal encounter would be expected dear Lass, but a feeding to the sharks might prove to be a good thing...

Just as we were taking down the fair tonight there was a motorcycle crash at high speed on the Gardiner Expy which is elevated way above the site, running along the south side.

Many of the merchants, including two of my kids, heard the bike racing along - then a sudden crash, and saw debris fly over the guardrail and down into the parking lot. Some of the younger boys dashed to retrieve souvenirs and were stopped by my friend Jane who warned them the police would want to handle that. She then stayed posted til the cruiser came.

To the boys it was exciting and no doubt a story they'll tell to friends all week. To those of us who listened in vain for the ambulance to pull away with the siren on, it was very chilling.

It could have been one of our patrons, someone who bought a snowcone from my daughter, or perhaps the nice young couple who bantered with me about the merchandise and then went off to the pub sing. It could have been one of our young volunteers, earning their community service hours for high school...

Somebody who woke up this morning as I did, who went out to enjoy their day in Toronto, will not wake again.

Be safe, be well, sleep tight everyone. Hugs to all.
