Oh Farewell to Nova Scotia…
As the end of summer nears, some of the students here at the Lab will be returning to school or heading off to other work within the next week. In our lunch group of Maritimers (NS: 6, NB: 1, PEI: 1), there are five of them leaving, with only Sean, Mike, and myself remaining. Last night we went downtown for supper to the Duke of Argyle, a Nova Scotia style restaurant. It was great food and fun times. Afterwards, we headed back to the apartment amidst the lightning flashing in the distance. The rain started to fall as we were about a 5 minute walk away. Seeing the inevitable downpour that would occur within minutes, we sprinted for home and made it just as the big drops of rain plummeted from the heavens. A few minutes later and we would have been drenched, but alas, we beat out the storm. And the best thing about storms in Toronto is that they look amazing from the 15th floor as the lightning streaks across the downtown skyline.
