   In 1980, a friend of mine was convinced that a private helicopter was the   
   solution.   
      
   He lived near the Pickering NGS and seriously thought that he could don a   
   weird looking harness and fly all the way to Willowdale (Victoria Park /   
   401).   
      
   Don't forget that back in 1980, gasoline was more expensive than it was at   
   the height of the $1.20 / litre recently.
