the torch

My intention for this entry is so I can remember the experience.

Last night, in the midst of my hustle and bustle, I was rerouted by a power much greater than myself...

I was heading up Simcoe St. towards Taunton Rd around 6:00pm when I noticed large crowds lining up on the sides of the street. It took a few more blocks of driving before I clued in. It was the Olympic Torch coming to town... What was so significant was the fact that I really had no reason to drive north on Simcoe. So I feel like I was suppose to witness this wondrous human phenomenon. It consisted of a long parade of sponsorship vehicles (like Coke and what not), buses, and police. As I drove alongside of the parade I was able to capture all the excitement as traffic was slow. Next thing I know I see the bright torch light in the night. Our paths crossed quite literally.

Heavy.
