November 16th, Windsor by Night
|
Winter's really settling in. The hardy ducks have returned to the Detroit River (CanvasBacks, Horned Greebs and Goldeneyes so far)
and the snow is gradually becoming more frequent. This means that the riverwalk is now almost abandoned. This is surely
a shame since at this time of the year in the early evening it can be a beautiful place for a ride - just make sure to bring
lights.

November 15th, Damn
|
You can't live in this city for long without appreciating the enormous service performed by the DFD.
Just this week a 1am fire started on a stove in another unit here brought out five fire tenders, possibly a couple
of them from the station on Grand Boulevard. They surely saved the building and all our homes.
But many of the calls here seem to be to malicious fires set in abandoned properties. For those who
have to deal with the results every fire is
dangerous. Early on saturday morning Walter Harris was in the wrong place when the roof
of an abandoned house collapsed (Freep, DetNews).
A tragic loss.
