First appointment, January. Woman scheduled a Pomeranian mix grooming.

Brought in a raccoon. Actual raccoon. In a dog carrier. I stared.

Ma'am, that's, and she cuts him off. His name is Biscuit. Just a trim, please. He gets matted. My manager was standing right there, nodded. Standard Pomeranian package? Yes, please. I groomed a raccoon.

Welcome to a Monday edition of 32 Thoughts, the podcast, Tom, Elliot, Kyle, back with you.

Elliot, it must have been some kind of snowstorm in Toronto and other parts of Ontario, North America on Sunday because it was enough to cancel your card game with your buddies.

That's when you know it was serious.

That is serious.

When our card game gets canceled, that's a big deal.

School is already canceled tomorrow around here, Kyle.

Do you know how hard it is in the city of Toronto, one of the worst governed cities around for them to actually tell you the day before that school

is canceled that is how bad it is usually they tell you like six or three or seven in the morning

you have no idea until you wake up but this one uh they they tell us the night before, this was a three shovel day.

Okay. That's how, and that's how crazy it was. And I want to say this. If you are a hockey fan

who went to a game in many of these places in North America that were either freezing or snowed in.

If you are a hockey fan who went to a game on Sunday, great on you. If you are a staffer who works a building, great on you.

Players, they're paid to play.

It's a little bit different,

but the fans and the people who put the game on,

if you made it to a game on Sunday,

you are the backbone of hockey fandom.

Good on you.

Nice, yes.
