June has finally arrived and I couldn't be more happy. Even though Toronto summers are generally on the humid side - I'm really not complaining - rather it be humid than six feet of snow.
So to kick of the month of June, it rained Saturday night. I was walking home and there is this strip of sidewalk that is pitch black and the only lights that are on are from the houses in the neighborhood.
Walking along, listening to The Strokes, enjoying the light rain and the cool breeze. And as I'm walking, each step is accompanied with a soft crunch, sometimes I get multiple 'crunching' noises...I am clearly amused. My High Score in one step: four crunchies.
The next day I'm walking to work and I come across the same strip from last night and I look down at the side walk and there are - what it seems like - hundreds of snails crushed. And within that instant it hit me that it was ME who had done this...I dunno what to say - I'm sorry? If anything I'm more grossed out...and in the past few days I've been reminded what I've done each time I walk by, by all the shells that cover over 50 paces worth of sidewalk.
I'm just happy that this time tomorrow its going to rain and hopefully, if any of the shells are caked on by the sun, will be gone.
Maybe a new batch awaits for me...

Nice crunching, Haroon :)
It's getting kinda sticky over here in NY too - but I'd deal with this anyday than snow. I feel ya.

HAHAH... LOL!
I thought this was one of those, "Ahhhh beautiful weather. Smell the fresh air..." types of posts. I thought the crunch noises was from the frozen...grass or snow.
Gracia: Thanks for stopping by :D
S.A: SNOW? In June? lol. I just hope that THAT never happens in my life time!
