Day 71 Rest August 21, 2001

! got to bed about 2 am ! think. ! didn't wake 'til half past 10. About 8
hours. Not bad considering !'m now 3 hours ahead of the time zone !'ve been
in for the last 1.5 months and ! was only sleeping about 6 hours/night on the
train. First thing was to find something for breakfast. that took awhile.
Then ! wandered aboot downtown. ! got down to the harbor. The Toronto Islands
are just offshore here so ! couldn't really see Lake Ontario. ! found the
Hockey Hall of Fame and a little garden park w/ black squirrels. Not much was
accomplished today. ! put in a couple orders to sell options. No telling when
someone will buy them. ! always set the limit a little higher than the
current price to catch an up tick. ! took a nap and now ! probably need to
find a place to feed. ! did find a New York state map. It doesn't show any
national parks and the banks of Lake Ontario are mostly inhabited so ! may be
in a hotel MY first night away from here. It will take 2 days to get to
Niagara Falls. ! did an ETA to Vancouver when ! was in Cimmaron, NM on day 7.
! had estimated 8.28 (today is 8.21) so !'ve still got a week to get there.
!'m in the middle of downtown of the 5th largest city in North America and
guess what ! see on MY way to dinner. A raccoon. What is a raccoon doing
running aboot town? 0 miles, but lots of walking.
