Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
My brother and I were walking towards the entrance of Canadian Tire
on Lauzon Rd, being in our mid sixties,spotted a man struggling with
a huge box in a shopping cart, decided to give this man a hand to load
the box in his trunk, when out of the blue,came Get your frickin hands
off my box , he didn't use that word, He really thought in his mind we were
going to walk away with his box. To which we replied." We hope you
have a nice day!!! We didn't mean no harm." P. S. This guy was a senior
like us.. Go Figure!!!
To the virtuous person who hit a beige Lincoln MKZ parked in the 200-block of Reedmere sometime late Sunday night/ early Monday morning:
It wasn't my car; it was my father's. He passed away unexpectedly in mid-April and he LOVED that car. I put off selling it and have been driving it over the summer because it reminds me of him and I miss him. You, however, were probably drunk or looking at your phone, hit it, thought to yourself about the financial and legal trouble you'd be in, saw that it was a nice car on a nice block, assumed I had the cash to pay for it (I don't) and drove away.
I leave you a quote from the prematurely departed Kurt Cobain:
If you're really a mean person you're going to come back as a fly and eat poop.
Enjoy the karma.
I am a driver too, but when I have less than 10 kilometers to go, I take my bike. I'm the yellow vintage bike with the basket...you might have seen me. I try my best to follow the rules of the road, as per the Highway traffic Act, but more than half the time, no one sees me! I should rephrase it as, no one is looking for me!
A CYCLIST'S LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS. You are driving a tonne of steel and glass, I am sitting on a little seat on some metal bars. I will do my best to make driving easier and safer for you, PLEASE stop endangering my life.
I love you Windsor, I moved back from Ottawa for you. I love my bike from Ottawa, but I did not miss the disrespect from Windsor drivers towards cyclists.
P.S. CITY OF WINDSOR MAKE BIKE LANES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. And when they do exist, don't put a sign in the middle of nowhere saying "BIKE PATH ENDS". ?? What IS that.

To the woman we encountered today walking down Tecumseh Rd at Francois. I was out for a run with my dog and you asked if I had water for him. I said no but that we were a block away from home. You continued by insulting me and commenting on how I treat my dog. How can you really do this? You don't know how far we have run, how many stops we have taken, when the last time he had a drink was. You know none of this. You don't know that he has run in temperatures from -20 to +35 degrees all without having anything go wrong with him because we know how to do this in a safe way. You don't know that he can easily run a 10k, rest for 20 minutes and then do it all again. You don't know any of this so how can you make comments about something you do not know? I have chosen a healthy (and safe) lifestyle for myself and my best friend. Maybe that is the part of this that you don't understand.
to the "lady" talking on the phone while driving your big black Escalade through Shoppers Drugmart parking lot in Belle River heading to the bank...Tonight just after 7pm You almost hit us! Do you know talking on a cell while driving is illegal? Or are you above the law? Put your phone down and keep those of us on the road safe. Or hey! How about keep the phone off while driving!!
To the person who almost hit me and my husband in our car today on Lauzon and Tecumseh intersection: just wow. You went through a red light SPEEDING through the intersection while me and my husband were making a left turn. My husband went as you sped by us and WE had to break for you. Honestly, I've never been so scared in my life. I'm currently expecting my first son, and it left me crying all the way to the mall because I was so frightened. If you were to hit my side of the car (which is what would of happened), I don't know if I would of survived that since you were going ridiculously fast. My husband had to calm me down before we stepped in the mall. I just wanted you to know that you've been spotted and I hope you realize that you really really upset us, not only that you were being a jerk and going through a light, but because of what could of happened to me, my unborn son and my family. Just made me realize how lucky I am, and how careless drivers can be.
I was passing by the airport when I noticed many police cars and paramedics closing the road.Many teenagers were sitting on the shoulders of the road and others were walking .When I passed by the ambulance I saw a person was carried by the paramedics..Cops were talking to parents on one side of the road
Last night my motorcycle was stolen from in front of my house. It is a black 2000 Yamaha r6 black rear sets and black clip on bars. Whoever stole it is probably highly disappointed because there is nothing of value on this bike. The bike engine 79,000 km on it needs a new chain sprockets fairings. If u could could keep an eye out for this bike it would be greatly appreciated.
