Transit Windsor

To the driver driving the south windsor 7 this morning (Thursday 16th)...could you try not to slam on the gas and breaks so much? Especially when people are getting on and off the bus. I realize there are instances where you NEED to stop quickly, but you seem to slam on the breaks every time you need to stop, and slam on the gas when you start going again.

Sincerely, the girl who almost faceplanted twice while getting on the bus

Kitty didn't come home...

My cat Charlie is black and white with a small black dot under her nose. She usually comes in and out from the house and is out during the day and comes home for supper. She didn't come home tonight and I'm worried about her. If anyone has seen her or taken her in, please let me know. The family misses her.

People Helping People

This is a couple weeks overdue but I've finally figured out how to share. A couple weeks ago, my dog got out. She never, ever runs off from me but she did this particular day, up and down the street, in front of a truck...everywhere. As I was trying eveything possible to get her to come to me, she only ran further. A woman in her car stopped to help, and 3 other people came out of their houses wih dog treats and to help me. To these people who helped me get my dog back (on Edward Street at St Rose), thank you so much. I was panicking big time and you all were amazing and helped so much!

100's of Monarch Butterflies

I was at Point Pelee the other day and I spotted 1000's of Monarch Butterflies.

We were filming them fluttering around, when something startled the group and they all took flight at once.

This time last year "Experts" were saying they were in danger of becoming extinct.

Cutie at St Clair College

I was worried you would think I was staring because of your walking cane, but it was actually because of how cute I thought you were. Talked to you for a few seconds, but you were with your mom and I was shy.

Want fit kids? have them walk to school!

To the parents who drop off their kids by pulling up beside, in front or behind the wheelchair bus where all the children who only wish they could walk sit and wonder why, at least mine does.

My son is in a wheelchair. He can not walk.
This a.m. I had to drive something to his school for the first time since he started at school. He takes the wheelchair bus. Much to my dismay as I pulled up to the school where the bus comes in there was a line of cars a block and half long dropping off students. I watched about 30 cars. Now, I can understand on a rainy stormy day. a big project needs bringing in, a disorder that isn't visible, or some other excuse to drop your kid off at school and not inspire them to walk. However, it occurs to me bussing is only available beyond 2 km's from the school which means these kids certainly could be walking. When else do they get exercise? what other sports or activities are they in that excuse them from walking to school? If you are concerned about how obese your child is or is becoming don't you think this would be a good start? Have them walk to school and walk home! You are not doing them a favour by driving them, you would be promoting health and fitness and a better lifestyle if you have them walk. At least drop them off at the corner with the 4 way stop and get them to walk 50 feet to the door of the school instead of pulling up beside, in front, behind the wheelchair bus where all the children who only wish they could walk sit and wonder why, at least mine does. Take it from a mom who wishes her son could walk to school, if this message inspires one parent to have their child get the exercise they need I will have succeeded in this rant! Thank you. Walk with them! I'm sure you need the exercise too!
