Huzzah! That was closer than most expected.
Now cue my fellow Leaf fans asking "Why couldn't Marner do that in a Toronto uniform?"
The point is: never be happy.

Bought from an eccentric guy with a little record store on Queen East in Toronto. I think he retired and went wherever eccentric guys go when they get old. I have no hard data on this but, anecdotally, they seem to move in with my girlfriend.

Bruce Springsteen has rightly been all over Bluesky today for his incredibly moving and catchy Streets of Minneapolis. So instead, I'll post this bootleg, on which he had no creative input and never saw a dime from.
