The First Winter Storm
Well today has been exiting as London and surrounding area has had the first snow storm of the year. If you are like me you got out to the car and had no snow brush, no shovel handy and just not prepared to deal with the white stuff. For some unfortunate people they woke up with no electricity while others had tree branhes blocking the driveway. Whatever the scenario one thing is for sure, winter is on the way!
I wrote this blog today as a plea to everybody on the road, SLOW DOWN. It's not summer anymore, you can not speed,pass and handle corners like you are on a racetrack because it's slippery out there. The ditches were littered with cars as they are every year when the first significant snow storm hits. It's amazing how logic doesn't kick in when these people get into the car. If the ground is slippery to walk on then driving on it will be no better. For the body shop owners this is one of the best times of the year because all these meatheads who don't know how to drive are smashing up their vehicles.
Here are some no brainers for people who need help
- Is cold, it's slippery so slow down
- leave a little earlier, racing to work because you are late is a certain date with the ditch
- bring a cell phone, blanket in case you get stranded
- if it get's to bad then pull over,take a break
- if you spot problems call 911
Winter can be an enjoyable time of year London if you use a little common sense. Every winter people die on the roads from preventable errors while driving. DOn't be a statistic, drive safe and enjoy!

Jesse Imeson - Dirtbag of the Decade
Everyday I read the Free Press to keep up with the news as I did today, but today was different. Today I read speeches given at the funerals for the victims of the savage killer Jesse Imeson. It was hard not to cry reading through the articles and then I was filled with anger. To put a piece of shit away for 25 years just doesn't seem to be enough for such a senseless crime. Do the victims or the families of these people get a second chance? What I legal system we have that even rates how the people were murdered and then decides the sentence, murder is murder. First,Second,Third degree who cares, these people are gone now and they are not coming back. If Demon Jesse is a good boy he'll be out in twenty-five years and will he be a better person, not at all. We'll pay for Jesse to be in jail,pay for entertainment,birthday cakes one a year and all the other prison perks while these families struggle to rebuild their lives always having a void in their hearts. It didn't matter what they did to Jesse today justice for this horrible act could not be served unless he suffered like his victims. On top of that they dragged it out this long before sentencing him when it didn't take a god damn genius to figure out he was guilty, just another money grab.
In closing my deepest sympathy goes out to the families and friends of Jesse's victims and I only hope you can get past this. You will never make sense of this because it never will make sense. Jesse Imeson is a cold blooded killer and nobody gives a shit about his childhood (lots of kids have a rough start) that's a poor excuse for what he has done. I only hope that he gets what is owning to him in prison before the twenty-five years are up and I do believe he will.

Labatt Park - #2 Who Cares
Ok, first we were told Labatt Park is the oldest park around and now they have changed their mind. If it is then it is and if not we got to move on. I've been there many times and it is a very nice park but if it isn't the oldest who cares!
I've been listening to this on the radio all week now and I've had it with the Labatt Park saga.
There are many beautiful things to be proud of in London and even if Labatt Park is the second oldest Park according to Guiness then that's preet cool as well, don't you think?
Some Popular People from London
Thomas Carling who was the founder of the Carling Brewing Company.
Karen Baldwin who was the beautiful Miss Universe in 1982
Jeff Carter, Forward for the Philadelphia Flyers
Paul Haggis, Academy Award-winning Hollywood screenwriter, director
Tommy Hunter, country singer

RAYMOND TRUDELL INCIDENT
Well there has been a lot of buzz in the paper over the attack on 11 year old Raymond Trudell as there should be. A 12 year old hit him so hard he needed 3 metal plates put in his head. A very sad story for sure but I do have some issues with that.
First off a 12 year old has been CHARGED in this incident. I can't for the life of me believe that he would have meant to cause such damage to Raymond. Kids are kids they get along, they fight that's the way they are. I'm not trying to downplay anything I have 2 boys of my own. As for Mrs.Trudell from the first time I heard her on the radio I knew She was going to make a cash cow out of this and that's exactly what has happened. Suing for over 3 million dollars!! Raymond may have got hit but She got the brain injury. Give it up lady a do think the school should have reacted better after the incident IF your story is correct (which still has not been verified) but get real a few hundred kids and less then a handfull of supervisors. It is impossible to watch everybody every minute, and time how long a punch takes... a split second.
It's a sad case and I'm sure there is a scared 12 year old boy who regrets what he did but why not just learn from it. You people are suppose to be Catholic so be Catholic and forgive. Mrs. Trudell play the lotto if you want a shot at winning a large sum of money don't make your kid a meal ticket. If you want to do something productive go after the Tv Stations, Game System Manufacturers and everyone else that makes fighting part of Childs everyday life. You are not teaching anyone anything suing the School Board for this crazy amount of money, just making yourself look cheesy!
Good luck and quick recovery Raymond!

LONDON'S FIRST SEX SHOW...IS IT THE LAST?
Imagine if everyone in the world was exactly the same. We all ate the same food, did the same things how fun would that be. The western fair held their first sex show on the weekend and all ready people are bitching about it.
There are still people who like to have fun you know, so why pick on a sex show? The show was indoors, well advertised and being a sex show you would have a good idea of the content even before you arrive. It's not for everybody I'm sure but to be judged by people who didn't even attend that's crazy!
I'm sure half the people protecting the show are old farts who haven't had a woody since the beginning of time. You know sex has been around since the beginning of time and it's still one of the greatest experiences that a human being can have so why pick on it?
Personally I did not attend the show and it may not be my cup of tea but I have no right to judge it and neither does anyone else. My message to the city is why don't you deal with your crime or traffic issues things that are really important. Leave these people along and let them have their sex show, it's not hurting anybody!
