Things I noticed in Toronto

1) Commercials in North America are quite out-of-control. You get to a point where television programs last for five minutes or less, before a seven-minute commercial block kicks in. You get to a point where radio shows end fifteen (15!) minutes before the top of the hour. And of course the landscape is littered with billboards, signs and whatnot. However you do get to keep track of the good commercials though. Kudos to American Express with the "Andy Roddick in a plane" commercial. And I have a soft spot for the Bud Light spot as well.

2) Funny how effective people are the ones who focus on the goal, while happy people are the ones who enjoy the journey. Even funnier is that books about these subjects share the same shelf in every large bookstore in Canada.

3) How come I speak better English than most food court baristas? Watusay? kreemanzugr?

4) A Honda on fire smokes great. You can see it from miles away, a big black cloud hanging over the freeway. I bet a barbecue of that size could feed 50.
