Friday Musings.

- Another toddler fell out of a window in Ottawa last night. A few weeks ago a toddler fell off a highrise balcony and died. What the hell kind of parents did these kids have? Shouldn't parents be keeping an eye on kids that age and keep balconies locked.

It reminds me of the last time I visited Diamond Joe in Phoenix. A child had died from the heat after a parent went shopping and accidentally left their baby in the back seat (which in Phoenix in the summer is equivalent to an oven). News headlines read "Be Careful. This Could Happen To You." No it couldn't actually. Nor would it happen to any of my friends.

- I like the Leafs signing of Jason Blake. They didn't over pay for him and though I don't think he'll score 40 goals again, I think he will be good for 30 a year and be a pain in the ass to the opposing team.

What I don't get is why the Leafs are interviewing John Muckler while keeping John Ferguson Jr. Either Ferguson is your guy or not, bringing in a senior guy to help him is absurd.

- I like the Suns signing of Grant Hill. He's obviously not the player he once was but he will only be on the court 25 minutes a game for Phoenix so he can conserve his energy. He can also run the team to spell Steve Nash who has been forced to play too many minutes the past few years.

- Wouldn't it be funny if Tiger missed the cut at his own tournament?

- I watched the Canada Day fireworks from the new pedestrian bridge over the canal at Somerset. It was an incredible spot and the bridge was worth every penny that was spent on it. It was about time Downtown taxpayers got something for their taxes.
