Goodbye To The Summer

I noticed that it has been rather chilly over the last few days. Yes I know that we are in the month of September but it is still part of the summer months.

It just seems to me to be too cool, too early. I just hope that it is not an early symbol of what we can expect here this winter but I have seen the weather forecasting prediction early on that suggests that it is going to be extra cold here. I just hope it does not mean that we also get lots more snow here in the snow season.

I remember that I read that the weather forecast for this summer was not going to provide a detailed forecast of what the weather conditions would be like. For some reason, it was felt that it could not be done. That was accurate at least.  Seriously, the weather changed so quickly from very warm to relatively cool weather in very short periods of time.

Oh well. As long as we can keep the heat in our Condo unit up and our outside landscape firm cleans up the snow properly when it falls, then I think I can cope with any kind of cold and snowy forecasts. I will just stay nice and warm in our Condo until the spring comes back.

Given the cool weather right now, it gives me a reason to do some in-house writing and let you know what I have seen recently.

WHAT HAPPENS IF PRESIDENT TRUMP GETS ANGRY

Oh my! What can happen now to the Mayor of Windsor?

Seriously, will he be a hero using his Twitter account to go after the American President or has he caused a major problem for the Canadian Government? And himself. Take a look at this posting on Twitter:

I will let you, dear reader, make your own decision about this posting and what its consequence may be. 

As for me, I think it may well be a terrible mistake for the Mayor for doing this. I do say, even if the US President posts a naughty response back to the Mayor one day soon, that such a comment in itself is not going to be all that big a deal.

What I am concerned about is that the US President might believe that Windsor's Mayor is being used by the Canadian Government to be nasty to him in public on this border matter. In other words, his belief may well be that the Windsor Mayor was being used as the front by the Canadian Government to slam him publicly and to warn him that he better not do anything to hurt the Canadian Government's position!  Or else.

If that is what develops in his mind, I dread to think what the reaction of Pres. Trump might be on this matter and what he might do about it.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LOCAL MP 

Poor Brian Masse. Even though he is an MP, he did not seem to be very involved now in what was going on with respect to the key matters involving the important border crossing that is in his riding in Windsor.

As you know, it was just announced that the Ambassador Bridge Company received Canadian Government approval to build its 2nd bridge between Windsor and Detroit. For some reason, he did not seem to know in advance that the announcement was coming out at all:

"Local MP Brian Masse is “shocked on the lack of transparency” that led to the sudden approval by the Trudeau government of a new span for Ambassador Bridge owner Matty Moroun to replace his 87-year-old crossing, he said on Friday.

The NDP member for Windsor-West — where the bridge is located — said he is among those in the dark as to why the twin-span project was approved after more than a decade of planning, meetings and preparation for the government-backed Gordie Howe International Bridge." (Dave Battagello,Windsor Star, September 8, 2017) 

We were told that the MP is setting up a meeting to deal with the subject:

"Masse said he's invited several parties to the meeting including the federal and provincial ministers of transport, Windsor's mayor and officials from the company that owns the bridge." (Kaitie Fraser, CBC News, September 8,2017) 

I am not so certain that too many people are interested in coming out to participate just because the MP may want them there. It does seem that some people may not be attending already. I wonder why:

"Masse has planned a public meeting for Wednesday and is hoping to have parliamentary representatives there to address community concerns"  (Maureen Revait,Blackburn News, September 11, 2017) 

Wow, it appears that a lot of people are not coming even though the MP would like them to be there to give him some publicity. Oh my goodness. Who knows, the MP may be in serious trouble already for the next election!

A WONDERFUL AUTOMOBILE

I was out for a walk the other day and saw this magnificent "older" vehicle parked. I am not sure who the owner was nor whether the person driving that car was a related person to the one whose home is where it was parked for a short period of time.

It really doesn't matter. I just wanted to post several of the pictures I took of this fantastic automobile.
