Doreen MacDonald picked up a toaster from a pile of battered appliances in the Qeen St. E. Soup-to-nuts junk store run by Jack Himself Cohen. One dollar. Himself said. Does it work? Doreen asked. I don't know. Why don't you plug it in and find out? All I do is sell as is. You won't plug it in? No. Doreen paid the $1 and once again proved Himself's credo: I don't polish anything. I learned my lesson when I polished the $25 special finish off a candelabra early in business. Since then I sell everything just as it is. [Incomplete]

Living on a boat at Toronto Island Marina means that Pat and John Dyer can cast off and sail for the Bahamas if they feel like it -- but it also means claustrophobia that impels them to dine out three times a week. A dozen people live on boats in Metro all year, and life afloat suits them just fine.
