Note
(injured) (rest day)
Knee a bit improved today - I was able to walk reasonably freely on it for a kilometre or so to and from lunch - but still a couple of days from being runnable, I think. (By the way, a link to a reasonably graphic picture of said injury has been posted in the NAOC photos thread).
The plan today was to spend the morning at Environment Canada's climate branch in Toronto (partly giving a seminar, partly catching up with various long-standing contacts). As it turned out I spent most of the day there, partly because there were lots of interesting things to talk about, and partly because they'd just had some "issues" of their own in the climate-politics intersection and appreciated having a sympathetic external person to talk to about it. Spending most of the day there meant I had the dubious pleasure of experiencing two lots of Toronto peak-hour traffic in a day (Highway 401 through Toronto is the busiest road in North America, and reputed to be possibly the busiest in the world), although Toronto commuters who don't make use of the city's (very good) public transport get to do that five times a week.
The original plan was to cross the border tonight, but given my late exit from Toronto I've ended up staying in the Niagara Falls area, and will cross in the morning after looking at the falls (which I have previously been to in 2006).
