I guess the garbage strike is really over.

You can't drive around Toronto today without getting stuck behind a garbage truck. On the way home from the boys' last day of ROM camp I saw at least 15 trucks. Seriously, I had no idea that we had so many garbage trucks in the city.

How do you feel? Most Torontonians seems to have dealt well with the strike, and feel annoyed with Mayor Miller for caving in. Personally, I was shocked by what little effect the strike had on my life.

I guess the union is thrilled to be back at work in time for the 2 1/2 times overtime pay that they will get this long weekend to do the clean-up.

I'm back! Was without computer access for too long. My fractured hand is healing - thanks! It still hurts, but definitely better. Hope all is well in Ottawa - do you guys have this current crazy humid heat wave?
