Scary stuff in the news.
Feb. 27th, 2008 10:09 pmAfter reading today's newspaper, I thought I should make a post to let everyone - or, at least, everyone who knows what part of town I live in - that I'm perfectly okay.
For those who haven't heard, there was an underground explosion a couple of blocks away, in a hydro vault under the Yonge/Eglinton intersection. Apparently the condos over on Yonge Street, which are within shouting distance of my building, had to be evacuated, and the stoplights at the corner were out of service all day yesterday and this morning. Police were directing traffic (and, apparently, completely ignoring the drivers turning left onto Yonge in violation of the law).
The only effect the situation has had on me directly has been that my power was out for a few hours while I was at work yesterday, and there was a sign up by the elevators asking us not to use our stoves lest we cause another power outage. Fortunately I had a package of fish in my freezer that could be microwaved, so I didn't have to go back out. (Though it was tempting to order Swiss Chalet.)
On a lighter note, the Leafs just won 4-3 in a shootout over the Florida Panthers for their third consecutive win. Take that, everyone who said that they should have traded Mats Sundin at the deadline! Two goals and an assist look pretty good on the scoresheet. :P That being said, I'm not at all upset that they traded Hal Gill and Wade Belak; Gill was highly overrated, IMO, and as for Belak, it's easy to replace a guy who scores a goal every two years and gets into a fight every five games or so. Chad Kilger, I'll miss a little more; he was no superstar, but he'd been playing pretty well lately. I'm just surprised they didn't trade for Yanic Perreault for the fourth time.
They're not in playoff position yet, but they're only two points behind the Islanders and one behind Washington, whom they play on Saturday. Go Leafs Go! :)
