"What did they hit you with?"

"Various things."

--Where the Sidewalk Ends

"It's always a pleasure to see a cop four-flush"--ibid.


Dreamed of flying in a Concorde SST from Moncton to my hometown Sackville, N.B.(!); leaving the window open next to my seat(!!); the plane going into an upside down barrel roll like a roller coaster(!!!); stuff flying out the window I'd left open; being in a TV show where things kept changing unpredictably.


Went to a Walking Meetup along the Humber River. (We also toured Lambton House.)


Dinner was McDonald's.


Saw Otto Preminger's Where the Sidewalk Ends at the Cinematheque.  A terrific film noir, written by the great Ben Hecht.  It's the one where cop Dana Andrews kills a crook he was only supposed to arrest and covers it up, only to see the father of the woman he loves (Gene Tierney) being framed for the killing!
