San Francisco is undergoing a construction boom. Huge towers and underground transportation tunnels. Sound familiar? How about a 58-story luxury high-rise in downtown that is sinking and leaning to one side. Frightening, and an appalling worry for residents in a City known for earthquakes. Elsewhere in Your World, a very informative story from CNN on how the huge denial of service attack shut down critical sites late last week. Worth a look  There’s still a lot of decency in the UK despite the Brexit attitude as the government there takes in refugee children from the Calais “jungle” camp.

The colour is not very intuitive. And many will ask if there’s another jurisdiction in world with grey police cars. But Chief Saunders says its okay.  CBC

Hey, what could go wrong. Uber has your credit card and so does someone else. Seems they latched onto your password too. Now Uber is calling to say your car will be right there, you know, at that address in downtown Krakow, Poland 7,000 miles away. You watch as your impersonator hops in and gets delivered to the other side of Krakow. A bill for something like $3.75 Canadian arrives. This is the story Laura Hesp tells of her unwanted “visit” to Poland. She complained to Uber and they refunded the fare, advising her to change her password and remove her card number.

A woman was seriously hurt when she was struck by a vehicle Saturday night about 7 p.m. at Coxwell and Sammon Avenues. The accident scene is a short distance East General Hospital. The injuries are not expected to be fatal.

BUSKERS PLAYING AT APPLE FEST

Anthony Spinley, the new owner of what was Wiseys Pies and Bakehouse has rebranded the business under the name North Shore Pie Co. The name change comes as Spinley and his wife Jen take the New Zealand sweet and savoury pie and baked goods firm in the direction of a business-to-business wholesaler. They will be located after the end of the year in Etobicoke. The present Wiseys (now North Shore) location at 874 Eglinton Ave. E. at Laird Drive will close at the end of December. To those asking why the change, Spinley wrote on Facebook that the “rebranding is because of new ownership and we feel as well with the new name the connection with New Zealand is more clear. Fear not however, our products are the same, if not slightly better. I’ll let you be the judge.” As the new logo suggests, “north shore” refers to the area north of Auckland.  Wiseys Pies and Bakehouse plans strategic business change

Chicago Blackhawks come from behind to tie the Leafs and then go on to win 5-4 in an overtime shootout. Ugh. CBC 

It’s been underway for 70 years above the Black Hills of South Dakota. It’s a monument to honour aboriginal legend Crazy Horse. Will it ever be finished? That’s a poser for the gods of great works but it looks like they are just getting started on his horse.
