garbage pickers!

on my way into work this morning, walking along queen street i see about 10 city of toronto workers with these pole-slicers and they are slicing open garbage bags and looking through the garbage bags that were left out on the street for pick up.
what i would like to know is, why the heck are the city workers looking through the garbage? what are they looking for?

last night was insane

the olympic hockey game last night was probably one of the most insane games i have ever watched. check news websites for those updates - i'm here to report on the insanity that was the streets last night. it's really amazing how a game can bring everyone in a city together. i was high-fiving and hugging perfect strangers on the streets, police and kids. it really felt nice to interact with so many people, who on any other day wouldn't look my way. it's funny how we work (or don't work) as a community. i'd love it if we could do things like that more often.
more pictures to come. this one however, i took on my phone and it's of a guy who was so excited, he climbed up onto the street light. he was escorted away by the police, but i doubt they charged him with anything. maybe a small fine, who knows?
