part 4 of our ontario trip report: niagara falls and we're lucky to be alive, folks 2007-05-05 - 6:10 p.m. all photos � 2007 by elaine radford niagara falls Whew. No birds today. We took the drive to scenic Niagara Falls, and it was a bit more exciting than we had planned, thanks to the impressively aggressive drivers of Ontario. The big stand-out was the pair of 18 wheelers who were visibly trying to knock each other off the road and, barring that, they'd settle for spinning around and blocking the entire highway to oncoming traffic. I'm talking an interstate highway. With other 18 wheelers on it. This was early in the morning at the very beginning of the trip, and I had already figured out that two "good ole boys" had spent their Friday night imbibing a little too much and had ended the night by picking some fight. In fact, Roger even noticed them coming out of the truck stop and he said that it was apparent right away that one of them was drunk and may have (intentionally or not) jostled the other truck. (I'm satisfied that both of them were drunk, although one of them may have maintained more fine motor control than the other.) And so the fun began. At one point, when they had the entire interstate brought to a second in their series of sudden stops, I was really starting to wonder how we'd die first -- by being hosed down by a hail of bullets from these psychoes or by being rear-ended from behind. Fortunately, the 18 wheeler driver behind us was alert and responsible. Roger had hit his flashing lights, and he immediately did the same, while coming to a safe stop behind us. From there, we were screened from the chance of being rear-ended by anyone else. In the end, all of us smaller cars simply pulled off the road and drove around the wild west showdown on the left. Where were the traffic cops in all this? Probably still lurking behind some (pitiful) bushes near a farm on a Highway 3. This is the flip side of the Canadian who doesn't stop and think that he can use a gun to settle his battles. Using an 18 wheeler is not an improvement, guys. Which reminds me of the scene in "Bowling for Columbine" about how they don't stimulate the imagination because their news is so boring in Canada. Tis true. For two days, they ran (complete with breathless interviews!) the big story about the lady whose cat got through security and was accidentally flown in her luggage to her vacation. Air Canada was so embarrassed by the gaff that they paid to fly the cat home again afterward. And so the falls. They were indeed huge, and the town indeed tacky, on a scale to make even Gatlinburg wonder. It's a visual thing, though, so watch this space. When I get home, I plan to post some truly impressive photographs. with three haunted houses on one street, you start to wonder about the tourists of niagara falls, this one is part of the burger king the water of canada is always such an impressive turquoise! more niagara falls back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
