Oh come one! Honestly....

I generally try to get in for 8am, so that I can justify leaving work at 4pm.

I don't make it that often lately. Some days, I sleep in, or spend too much time shaving/making lunch/whatever.

Today? I was delayed 15 minutes by a slow moving house. That's right. A house, crawling up Islington. The bus had to go around.

I declare today Stupid.

Don't move out to the country. My ex-boss used to just look at me and ask, "What kind of truck was it this time?" It was sad how often I had a different, and more amusing answer for him. Houses were not uncommon.

Ever been stuck behind a truck full of tree trunks? I could never get over imagining what would happen if they suddenly came loose.

See, on a highway, it wouldn't be that remarkable. But its pretty rare to have a house blocking entire city streets for long periods of time - it started moving from college to dundas at midnight, and had made it to islington just south of the 401 by 8:15. So, 8 hours along city streets, still not finished.

why is there a house moving through the city streets of toronto?
aren't there enough houses filling that city as it is, without more coming through?

[curgoth]

That may be the problem; the house was, in fact, leaving the city.
