Jane Jacobs is dead.

Jane Jacobs is dead. I never met her though I know several people who knew her well. She was an important influence on how downtown Toronto has developed and especially on my neighbourhood.

Gear

Went on a minor shopping expedition today to replace lost/destroyed rugby kit. My one remaining pair of wearable shorts were ripped from waistband to hem on Sunday so they aren't good for much anymore and my head protector disappeared at some point last season. In any even it had so many cuts and gouges in it that it was pretty much knackered anyway. Net swag; two new pairs of shorts and a new head protector. With a bit of luck that will see me through this season.
