listersgirlSo today, the day that thinks it's the middle of summer and is 30 hot and sunny degrees, the north/south subways weren't running when I left work. These are the subways that get everyone out of the downtown core, that take me right home. And they weren't running to the extent that all the entrances to the downtown subway stations were locked up, so this clearly wasn't a temporary thing.
I walked west (to Spadina) to take the streetcar up to Bloor. Now, I'm at basically the bottom of downtown, so I was able to get on the first streetcar that came. One stop later and it was completely full already, with people literally hanging off the bars trying to keep their feet off the step so that the back doors would close and we could move again. As the woman beside me said, it looked like the entire financial district was trying to get on that streetcar. And driving past the other streetcar stops was scary -- people were spilling out onto the tracks and the street because there was no room left on the platforms.
And then I walked the rest of the way home, which is only about a 35 minute walk (one I do all the time), but uphill, and it was hot, and I was sweaty, and now I have a heat rash on my thighs and a sunburn on my arms. Blech.
However, I stopped at the post office and the library, and I have Kitchen Confidential DVDs and a copy of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yiskah's book, so life is good. Plus some day Lost will finish downloading and then I can watch that too!
