Toronto Nov 26
Woke up at 1pm, argued about prison abolition, and Zoomed a Roberta Rogow concert, so not exactly an exploration day. Did eventually leave, and despite the windy cold, was glad to be in motion. Walks are good.
The local branch library is open to 8:30 PM every weeknight. This seems unusual to me, though between travel and covid it's been a few years since I patronized public libraries, and many years since I patronized a branch library. (In Cambridge I was 20 minutes from branch or central, so I went to central.) Seems like it just opened for Sundays, 1-5 or so. Masking was mostly good, though bad at one end of the library.
Had a couple pieces of spicy dark meat chicken from Popeye's. I wasn't expecting much, but it was pretty decent for deep fried battered chicken. I remember Popeye's as being unmemorable, but I might have had their popcorn chicken nuggets rather than actual leg and thigh.
Had my first oysters. 6 malpeques. Decent, but expensive, like $1/40 calories. I think I prefer mussels, though I don't feel comfortable steaming mussels in someone else's house. See the
