To the lady driving a red Honda, who flew through the intersection of Westmount and Blockline last night between 745-8:00.
I’ve been driving for awhile, I wouldn’t call myself a GREAT driver.
I mean I can back into a parking space without hitting anything, but I don’t have what it takes to win the Daytona 500.
I can also spot an idiot behind the wheel from a few hundred yards away.
It was this talent that probably saved my life, and that of my wife and kids last night.
I was in the left turn lane on Westmount, turning into Highbrook to show my daughters their new house.
You were coming in the opposite direction, also in a left turn lane meant for traffic heading towards Homer Watson.
You had no intention of turning, despite the giant white arrow curving left on the road indicating otherwise.
I saw you flying down the road, and stopped short of the light because like I said, I can spot an idiot behind the wheel from a few hundred yards away.
It was there, where I watched you fly through the intersection, changing lanes where my car would’ve been had I not stopped.
My daughters woke up in their own beds this morning instead of one in a hospital, and as God is my witness, if your stupidity had caused any harm to my kids…….
Blonde hair, driving a red car. You know where she was, if you see her tell I said ‘Hi’!

A house in Toronto for only $179,000!?!?!
Yep! It’s true!
Toronto’s smallest house is back on the market. The home on 128 Day Ave. has three modernized, ground-floor rooms, a four-piece bathroom and a new entrance door almost half the width of the front of the home.
Totalling 350 sprawling square feet, “it’s an adorable little property,” Re-Max 2000 agent Antonio Nardi said Wednesday.
Now a house like this is BOUND to attract attention and it has!
The famous little house has been featured in articles and on television, including The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
The $179,000 price tage includes the land, back patio and two parking spaces off a rear lane of almost century-old homes.
Others, including the towering two-storey neighbouring single dwellings, have more than four times the interior space and would sell for about $400,000, Nardi said.
The St. Clair Ave. W.-Weston Rd.-area property was originally a lane. Nardi said the house was built in 1912 and has been occupied by several families over the years.
Billed as an option to some bigger-bucks downtown condos with just 10%-30% more space, almost two dozen prospective buyers have visited, Nardi said, “and a couple of people are mulling it over.
“It’s bigger than it looks,” he said.
The white aluminum-sided home has a Victorian-style peaked roof and covered porch.
Inside, the 36-square-foot bedroom has a Murphy bed, which folds up into the wall.
The kitchen, at 12 by 6.9 feet, has a four-burner stove, a sink on a narrow counter and a stacked washer and dryer near a fridge.
As for the 36-square-foot living room, well, two people can easily snuggle on the lone couch.
Lastly, the 50-square-foot basement, which rises about 41/2 feet above the gravel floor, has room for storage near the furnace.
Promoting it as ideal for a single person, Nardi said it can be yours for $9,000 down, $1,051 monthly, covering the mortgage, utilities and taxes.
“I believe it is the smallest house in Toronto,” he said, adding confidently: “It’s livable.”
Yeah, if you’re an Oompa Loompa!

So I did a little survey on my Facebook page asking,
‘Do you REALLY turn off the radio when you hear Taylor Swift?’
At last check, 58% do NOT turn off the radio.
