Oh, i have to laugh ... we have a day of freezing rain, snow, high winds and ice pellets ahead of us. We are supposed to drive to St. Catharines today. Not sure it is worth the risk. They are supposed to have freezing rain most of the day.
Thank you for this ... how awful about both those stories. It is so sad that we seem to care so little for others. Thank you for sharing with us.
It is so good to see you again. I hope that you are well. xo
Toronto used to be known as, Toronto the Good. Not so much now. I walk a lot. People turn so close behind me some i can feel the air pushed by their car. I don't walk so quickly anymore and that kind of thing is disturbing.
Thanks Thorn, xoxo
i think we are all to blame ... i think we need to change how we think of cars. That old lady killed was not in a crash, she was hit by someone driving a huge, powerful machine. This wasn't an accident, it wasn't dropping a milk bottle. We need to be more responsible, and thoughtful, as you say, whether driving or walking.
You are right. Walkers have the right of way in Ontario, but that does not mean we can just walk anywhere. Winter mornings are dark, we need to go to cross walks. We need to make sure drivers can see us.
i am angry ... and deeply sad. That people just left this lady there ... just left her. No calls to 911, drove around her.. DROVE AROUND HER.
I do not understand how anyone ... anyone could just do that, and then go on with their day.
These things make me sad to be alive.
thank you...for being there xo
we climb into our killing machines daily
without thought
without care
and we mow down those who are in our way
leaving them behind,
the blood on our tire’s unseen
no matter they are fathers or mothers
perhaps our sister, your brother
how dare they walk … be in our way
for we are late and speed, our drug
faster and faster as we try to outrun life
— time —
no matter who we kill in our race
to get to the end
Thank you for this lovely story. It was charming and i am so glad Pat is willing. Age should be no barrier. Too often it is. And it is such a waste of possible happiness.
Wonderful story.
We will see. Michael had ordered some clothes from a new big and tall men's place here. He spent $80. I looked at our VISA today... it said $160 ... i said to him, you better check it. He did, they'd sent two of everything. OMG .. really? After the pearls thing.. then as we were looking at the email from them another one came. It said: So sorry, this error whatever occurred. You order is correct and the credit is below.
That .. is good honest service .. we messed up, we fixed it. He will write to them to thank them for that.
I wish everywhere was like that.
