But perhaps I was too harsh. Perhaps he was new in town and didn't know that before they rebuilt this stretch, the shoreline was so eroded that the asphalt path by the pool was crumbling into the lake. Perhaps he wasn't here for the floods in mid-July, or the even bigger floods in 2013. Perhaps he's from, like, BC and didn't know about Hurricane Hazel in 1954 and that hurricanes can absolutely get far enough inland to affect Toronto. Perhaps he hasn't been following the news about Helene. Perhaps he just fucking dropped fully formed out of the sky at that exact point like Ibn Sina's famous "flying man" thought experiment so he didn't notice how the shoreline immediately to the east had been so washed out by the rains that even the ground on the other side of the boardwalk was eroded and the City was putting in a similar big and small limestone block system just below the ground so the entire fucking beach doesn't wash away. No on second thought I'm still mad
