ENTRY 206
Bad News From Coach Richard
No ring time for 'The Brick' next month.
Coach Richard informed me that neither I, nor Leo will be on the card in November, because he can't find opponents.
Well, there is still more than two weeks, or how about have myself and Leo do an exhibition?
Glazerman Is Back
Remember Micha Glazerman?

Glazerman Is Back
Remember Micha Glazerman?
He's back.
I sparred one round with him on Monday.
He nailed me good in the body a few times.
Welcome back.
Lighting Up Your Life On Dennis Avenue
What's with all the street lights at the corner of Dennis Avenue and Weston Road?
For the longest time nobody knew. Just a bunch of street lights. 36 to be exact, and not even Toronto Hydro knew about them.
This is right near my new apartment, so I will get to see these every day.
However, we now know what they are.
It is art.
Yes, you read correctly. This is an art installation.
The 36 lights on 10 poles at various angles and heights contain blue and white LEDs.
Although, in the photo below, not all of them are working.
It is not clear in the photo, but these are blue lights.
Yes. This is considered 'art'.
Only in Toronto.
Read the Toronto Star story here:

If you look at the Google Street View for this area, taken in 2012, you can see what this intersection looked like without the art.
New Apartment?
Well, I am very close to getting my next apartment. It is on Weston Road near Dennis Ave, as mentioned above
It is being rented directly by the building owner.
He is doing a lot of work to fix it up.
Nice location, in addition to the interesting art project.
There is also a really big park nearby (Jane and Eglinton).
Black Creek and the Humber River.
Also, the pickup location for the Police Auction is close, on Alliance Ave.
It is also very easy to get to the Stockyards Boxing, as both the 71B and 89 buses stop right in front of the building. Literally, the bus stop is five steps from the door.
Interestingly, is that this apartment also has a back entrance, out to the hall and laundry room, and parking area. Two entrances. That has to be one of the most interesting features.
Of course, there is a catch (Isn't there always a catch for me?).
I will be on the main floor, and will be responsible to pay the electricity for the entire main floor.
That includes, hallway lights, exterior lights, parking lot lights, and the worst, the laundry room.
Well, then I should be able to do my laundry for 'free', shouldn't I? After all, I am paying for it in the long run. Along with everyone else's.
However, the landlord said that he would discount the rent equivalent to the electric bill.
Would it not be easier to just include electricity in the rent?
Anyway, let's hope I get this one. It is super-convenient for me.
