The Metro Toronto Zoo has been, in recent years, overrun with them, to the point where some staff members shoved a hundred or so into a cube van and tried to drive them off of the Zoo property...many of the geese died in the van, and it was quite the scandal, seeing as how the ridiculous animal is named after our country. I hear that there was an initiative to kill them and feed them to Toronto's homeless population that didn't get through city council. Meanwhile, I took pictures of Vanessa playing hockey (they finished second, lost to Sault Ste Marie), and also a number of images of the light falling through the windows at Vanessa's grandparents' home in Fonthill. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
