Please, murder those fucks downstairs

If you ever loved me, you'll do this one thing, won't you sweetheart?
High temp today, here: 7. Dewpoint then: 2. High dewpoint: 2.
High temp today in TO: 9. Dewpoint then: 3. High dewpoint: 3.
Currently on the balcony: 4.1.
Am I sleeping? Have I slept?
But now they're gone. They were louder, and louder, and LOUDER, for days, weeks, until the cops came at 6 this morning--but now they're gone. The flophouse/crackhouse/meth lab/grow op/whatever the hell they had going on down there, with the glowing purple lights, and the Big Blue Sky No Matter Where I Roam, and the mysterious screaming babies that appear for two weeks and vanish, and the Beavis and Butthead giggling for HOURS ON END--it's all over. Reduced to a heap of odd miscellaneous junk on the curb. I need no longer dread going to bed because they will start at 2:30 and not stop until I am out of my mind. This is the happiest development in ages.
Erratum: David Peterson did not, of course, lose the election in 1995. He lost the election in 1990. Bob Rae was the sitting premier in 1995, but had no chance of winning anyway, having come out of nowhere to win the 1990 Oh-My-God-We-Elected-Who? Election and having receded back into nowhere immediately thereafter; it was Lyn McLeod (with the flippin' and the floppin' and the hippin' and the hoppin' and the hey hey hey) who lost the Liberals' long-standing comfortable poll-lead in 1995.
And let me finally say this, because this is the kind of thing I thought I should get an eljay to say back when I successfully predicted that the Liberals would survive the Chuck Cadman Vote due to Conservative defections: I do not, and will not, believe that the Conservatives will win this election, despite the polls and the fact that Paul Martin is losing his mind. (If you want a reason, other than that it's unthinkable: the Liberals are still going to win Ontario, and the Conservatives are still not going to win any seats in Quebec (while Money And The Ethnic Vote will still elect Liberals in Montreal). And the NDP is going to swing one of those seats in BC from a Conservative who has been disowned by the party.)
Oh, one more thing: the NDP's old neon-orange election signs were, by far and away, the ugliest election signs of any Canadian political party, and possibly of any political party in the democratic world. With the new pastel orange and lime green (well, it doesn't sound good), they now have the prettiest signs. Hey, that's something.
