The fire that consumed Apt. 2424 at 200 Wellesley in September, 2010, was like nothing fire fighters had ever seen, and it changed the way high rise fires are fought in Toronto. If you live in a high rise -- and even if you don't, this story is for you. https://t.co/K3ktxEoJhn

Can confirm.
Husband and I got the AstraZeneca vaccine today and the worst thing that happened was that Burger King mixed up our order at the drive-through on the way home.
