And that means in October, I’m going to take a leak in the continental divide.
The Silfra Crevasse
(Note: not my photo. I did not take this photo. I do not know who did.)

I realized this week, with absolute horror, that I no longer notice the distinctive sewage and garbage smell that I have long associated with Toronto. I realized it this week when I got a whiff of that enticing aroma.
