So I’m walking towards Dundas Square downtown one afternoon. And I look up at one of the ever growing, giant ad screens that pollute our minds above me. And what do I see here? It wasn’t up for long. But long enough for me to take this picture with the trusty Blackberry.

Not sure if you can really see it clearly in the image here. But I’ll give you a hint. Ever pirated a copy of Windows?

Eventually you’ll get the Genuine Advantage Validation “not passed” box message. At least until you crack it that is.

Right, so what am I getting at here? Simple....it proves that even large corporations are doing this. Who’s the company behind that monstrous screen running ads? How much money are they making from it? And they couldn’t just “buy” Windows for the lousy $300.00 or so?

At any rate, I found it funny as hell!

Although I’d love to have the $ to go to exotic places more often and go on bigger adventures............. Like my big climb to the birthplace of Quetzalcoatl in Mexico for example.
But let’s get real. The economy is not doing so hot, and sometimes you just have to be content with whats in your own backyard. Or at least close by. Not having a car anymore can make it even more challenging.
But one thing will always get me to find the best nature areas I can wherever I am. CYCLING. Something thats kept me invigorated since High School, and probably will until my legs fall off, or the Diabetes takes my feet. Whichever comes first.

I took this trail along the waterfront at the bottom of the bluffs. And like all trails, eventually they come to an end somewhere. But why do they have to end? Can’t you just make a new trail, and be a pioneer? Not always. Here’s why.

But I think you’ll agree its a stunning view! Now check out this next image. After my ascent back to the top of those bluffs your looking at. Here’s looking at the same place, but from the top looking down.

And of course....here’s your local trailblazer signing off!
