When you're in the eye of the storm

In light of my cousin's efforts over the weekend I decided to bike to and from work today... normally no problem if I'm going to my normal work. Today, however, I had to go to Port Credit... so morning shift bike to Eglington and Mavis... Afternoon shift... bike to Hurontario and Lakeshore.
Not a good idea!!! I had a lung full of exhaust from every car that went by and my butt hurt really bad... I got two cramps in both my knees at the same time and it was a nice a sunny day out! Scortcher!!!
Anyways, I didn't die! As you can tell because I am still here! But I could have... and that is the reality of it... don't do stupid things like ride your bike for three hours on a hot day... whether it's going to work or going to find lost treasure on Toronto's Islands... just don't do it... you deserve better!
Instead... you can drive your car around to create more pollution... increasing the temperature even further in your nice airconditioned automobile... It's ok, I do it too! It's just too bad that they're such a necessity... although there is public transit which my Aunt Esther takes all the time... at least as far as I know she does... (in the Winter on snow days). But people tell me that they don't want to feel like sardines or that buses smell like urine.
In any case... buses and transit can get inconvenient... so that's probably the reason why they aren't more popular. If they were though... gas prices might go down... the environment might get a little better... mass hysteria!!!

Don't wait for the Electric Car (that is affordable and efficient): David hasn't perfected it yet! Take the bus!

I brought 8 litres of fluid with me, and it was raining most of the time. That certainly helps in this heat.
