Where be the Routemasters??!?!?

Toronto might be in the midst of a huge TIFF, but you can tell Summer is pretty much over...

The kids are back to school... the temps are getting cooler... stores are starting to stock Halloween stuff... there's whacky pictures of Brad Pitt at the film fest...

Brad \'Whacky\' Pitt

...yup, it's fall in the big smoke.

Sadly for me, it also means that one of my favourite things to look at is now off to winter storage... or at least, not running about as often... the Routemaster buses running tourists around the city.

Toronto Routemaster

*Sigh!*

Okay, I know... I promised no more kvetching... but this is more about the turning of the season rather than the bus... (Besides, you're all reading or familiar with the bottom of these posts (see below) so you know the "love affair" the whole family has with the bus...

...meanwhile, back on topic...

All I'm saying is... I'm not really a "Summer" guy as I can't take the heat... Winter's too cold... Spring's too wet... So I like Fall... usually warm enough to go without a jacket... but if you want one, that's okay too.

Can you tell I'm going through a writer's block today?

Perhaps I should end this post... and spare you minutes of absolutely worthless reading... The only thing I can possibly offer is a little "ego" moment from yesterday evening's Paranormal Blog... both Sue and I did an "About Us" kinda thing... click here to read about me... and click here for Sue's... which is miles better.

Wow... this blog entry is so bad, I ain't "pinging" it... I promise better either tonight or tomorrow.

Okay, enough... I'll stop wasting your time... except the usual last note on this blog...

The standard last note on the old blog... PLEASE SUPPORT THE DREAM!

This blog is here to help promote a dream that an entire family shares... that dream is to rescue an old London Double-Decker bus.

Please, if you have a few minutes, take some time to find out more about this bus and the kooky dream by clicking here.

This bus is VERY special to myself and the whole family, and any help any person can lend us would be most gratefully accepted.

If you or someone you know might be interested, there's our pixel ad site, HelpCoverTheBus.Com and a PayPal donation button (see the upper-right hand side of the blog) and, of course, a Cafe Press shop for T-Shirts and shtuff!
(...and who doesn't need some shtuff!)

Please help us make this dream a reality and save a piece of history!

We thank you for your support!

Please Note: We are also hoping for help from a public relations/marketing standpoint... If you might be able to assist OR know someone who might be willing to, please click here and read this entry...

Should we go back to concentrating on and letting folks know how things are going with our bus? (Kinda back to the good ol' days?)
