From Mitizigal:
Heard you on CBC today, and thoroughly enjoyed the show.
It reminded me (too late to call into the show, though) of a situation my husband and I encountered on a VIA trip from our home in Sarnia to Toronto a number of years ago.
As we were getting near Toronto, a couple of boys, probably around 12 years old, were mooning the train as we sped by. They were a number of yards away from the train but close enough that we had a good look as we approached them. The funny thing was the people on our side were howling with laughter, but our neighbours across the aisle wondered what the commotion was, but by the time they jumped up to have a look, the boys were gone.
Coincidentally, having grown up near the Junction in Toronto (made famous by its rail yards) I had a friend who lived on Ryding Avenue in the Runnymede and St. Clair area. We used to moon the freight trains all time as kids, until Michelle's father caught us one afternoon and chased us down the street with his work boot. I made it all the way home only to wind up with my dad chasing me down the laneway with a shovel after receiving a phone call from Michelle's dad. Eventually my old man ran out of breath and I hid out in the schoolyard of George Syme public school until I felt it was safe to come home.
