Will the blessings of globalization never cease? Bugs that wipe out our trees. Zebra mussels, Asian carp, bird flu. It just goes on and on. But, on the bright side, rich people are a LOT richer than ever before.

Thanks. I feel a need to trade one lunacy for another occasionally. The same old lunacy day after day is depressing!

Glad they saw the need. Funny how so many organizations are caught slamming doors that should have been locked.

When did this all start? In 2005 when I was there, I heard nothing about them. Are they riding imports from another continent? I just found this list of reports http://bedbugregistry.com/location/ON/M1N/Toronto/2151%20Kingston%20Rd# 2151 Kingston Rd is the hotel I reserved. I sure won't...

Rain I'd love it if it rained the week I'm going to be there. I made my first trip in late spring 2004. On the day I arrived, it rained all day. If I remember right, I didn't have an umbrella or the right shoes, but I sloshed down to Little India anyway. LATER I learned about TTC and went...
