NOV 17, Canadiana: urban portaging
From the Archives: An Illustrated E-Mail about Urban Portaging, 2017

I encountered this on my late afternoon cycle-ride through trendy Rosedale on a rainy autumn afternoon. In its second year,
this festival, I found out, brings together people portaging canoes across a 17 km ancient aboriginal trail between the
Humber and Don watersheds. At this point, the portagers had just crossed the Mt Pleasant Expressway.

Authors' Note: This verse deals with a nonsensical 'tall tale' prevalent in the author's family. Our children grew up in the 1980s in a universe in which 'remotes' (remote controllers) miraculously helped manage elements of their computerized daily lives. With its expandable dimensions and the ability to either hide or display, the Cyber Box offered a digitized but imaginary solution to logistic problems, worthy of attribution to Aladdin. Unfortunately, no one could ever find the misplaced 'remote' for the mythical device.
