Potholes

I'm suprised you weren't intentionally run down by a montreal cabbie or other local. Is it just me? Or do they always seemed to speed up when I cross the road... not necessiarily at an intersection.

London (UK) got some real fab ones too. Some split whole roads, crossways; the creation of cable TV companies. Hey it makes cycling, that bit more challenging.

holes, i've seen holes, its your foot size! you would only be a size 10 1/2 it's your long toes evil. those are long toes with nice nike sandals. my toes are kinda squatty and short. almost like a duck. i'm embarressed when people look at my toes and believe me they are always looking at my toes. i think i'll let the toe nails grow very long this way i can say i wear a size 11 or 12. and when i sit on my perch i can use the toe nails to help me hook the wood.

EvilG, your potholes made me think of the Monty Python sketch about how bad things were. I had remembered that there was a bit about the hardship of living in a hole in the middle of the road. I was slightly off:

The reason we have giant pot holes and roads in such terrible shape has to do with the Quebec government's cutting corners. They use lower quality asphalt and put down only a very thin layer of it, unlike elsewhere in Canada and the rest of the world. The roads in Montreal honestly fair WORSE than third world countries. It's difficult enough driving on them, try biking.

No surprise, this is also one of the only places in the world where ambulances don't have paramedics, where laws against animal cruelty are non-existent and where hate and discrimination are not only welcome, but the government has an official organization to enforce it (aka Language Police). Heh, Montreal a first class city? The roads here are only the tip of the iceberg...
