Letterman Watches The Jays....?

What are you talking about, Willis?

There, behind home plate.

The bearded, straggly guy.

There.  Is that better?

Unless they now let the homeless sit in the $2,000 premium seats, that's gotta be him.

Wow, never let me out in public like that!

Who Ya Gonna Call!

"Raccoon Busters!"

Found a furry little friend sleeping on one of my balcony chairs the other morning.

So got the Terminix folks in to lay a trap.

The technician was saying I have the perfect set up for them; sheltered and secluded.

So you add in the fact that this was the first day I put the seat cushions out  (he was lying on the seat cushion with his head on the back rest pillow) and it probably seemed like a freakin' five star resort to him!

Anyway, we got him this morning.  Couldn't resist the all-you-can-eat buffet.  Or as the technician called it, a can of tuna.

And even he seems to be wary about reaching down to grab the cage.

And there he is.  Trapped like a.....raccoon.

Now I know where the expression beady little eyes comes from.  Yikes!

Pretty sure he's thinking, "So help me if I get out of here, you're a dead man!"  Yikes again!

Oh! Okay......

Good thing they had the translation underneath......

Wow!

Those gals from the earlier post did a great job.

But they left the weeds inside the sign.  Just the way I like it.

At the risk of offending a large portion of the population, these must be union jobs.

"Buddy, we're planters, not weeders."

We're okay......

No Truer Words

The bottom line of this sign should be on every City Of Toronto notification; Expect Delays.

And I don't even mean traffic.

It more appropriately refers every aspect of every project.  Especially how far behind schedule every dang project is.

Toronto's Union Station upgrade is the most recent example.  Started in 2010, it was supposed to be completed in 2015. Five years.

They built in the entire Rideau freakin' Canal in less time than that. And that was 180 years ago!

So now it is scheduled to be completed in 2019.  Just like the project managers have said every year this time; "Er....end of this year.  Honest."

As anyone who has tried to walk through there recently will attest, a snowball has a better chance of survival in you-know-where than this project does of being completed by year end.

And don't even get me started about the cost overruns! 

I Don't Know About A Mani or A Pedi.....

....but who couldn't use a good shellacing once in a while?

Hey! The TTC Reads My Blog!

In a recent Arnotti post, I called out the TTC for their landscaping of a subway station.  Click No Wonder! for a refresher.

Or just look here....

And one alert reader said she loved the weeds sprouting inside the "artwork".

Well, I guess that got under the TTC's skin, because yesterday...the weeding began!

The power of the....er....electron?
