went due north

OK. Not strictly due north. Up? Point is, I was not coming from Toronto proper, points normally further east. For the first time (I think) I drove from Mississauga to the CAO. Certainly it was the first time travelling from the new "home." And, consequently, avoided the airport-401-Dixie-410-highway madness.

On seeing that Highway 410 was a parking lot between the 401 and the 407, I opted to use Kennedy. Straight up. Not bad. It got a little stop-and-go, with traffic lights, in Brampton. I probably could have deked over sooner (Queen, Steeles, even Derry) but I was a little unfamiliar with the streets. I finally blipped over to the highway via the Williams Parkway.

At the new PetroCan in Caledon, did a splash of and go (91 octane sadly). Then grabbed a bite in Orangeville. Stars showing... But no aurora.

Not too many animals on the dark road. Nothing big.

As I arrived the observatory, I killed the lights. Ian's truck and trailer on the left. Sal had parked in the middle of the driveway by the house so I couldn't pull up. He was in the kitchen having dinner.
