Nice that the torch passed thru my wee town of Bowmanville, along with the massive entourage of police , fire and then some. The nice touch was seeing the Bowmanville Zoo's Elephant , 2 Camels and Miniature horses escorting the Torch bearer. The downside,,,major traffic tieup......I stopped for like 10 minutes, so when torch dude passed by I hoppped out of my car and asked him to lite my smoke cuz zI forgot my lighter at home! JK

We got into some interesting discussions about carrying the flame up to the high arctic. After listening to all the concern about having a flame in an aircraft my patients was running thin. Sarcastically I suggested they light the aircraft engine with the torch and light the torch again later off the engine. Funny thing there was a pause of silence in the room where I think people actually thought about it seriously.

That is a VERY impractical route....
