Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
Windsor,
Some of you may have seen me at the Devonshire mall this afternoon (Dec. 7) sporting a strange "Sherlock Holmes" greatcoat with an extremely strange (yet warm) hat.
To clear the air, am I in no way a racist nor do I sympathize with racist ideologies. I am merely a history buff and history RE-ENACTOR! The greatcoat I was wearing is from the Napoleonic era and is extremely comfortable and warm.
The hat (a Busby) although from a German battalion (at the time was allied with the British with absolutely NO CONNECTION with Nazi scum) was an elite German Hussar (cavalry) regiment from Brunswick which had a whole different look than the Deaths-head that you've all grown to known and associate with racist scum.
With that said, I want to thank those of you who've stopped to ask me about my regalia, knowledge is truly power. I was indeed breaking in my new hat for an upcoming re-enactment coming up in the New Year (it's handmade to fit snuggly around the head and can be very uncomfortable). For those of you who gave me a death stare (yeah, I noticed) and uttered threats and other unpleasantries towards me.... your ignorance is a life sentence in itself, your stupidity knows no bounds.
Again, thank you for all those who were inquisitive enough to boldly approach a stranger and learn something new (I hope)
Regards,
Sean
To the several individuals that stopped and helped me Monday, thank-you. Yesterday (December 3) I was walking along Grand Marais on my way to the South Windsor Vision Centre. I have MS and do walk with crutches but walking short distances usually isn't a problem. Yesterday was the exception to the rule. I fell between the driveway and the sidewalk of my destination; flat on my back.
One person stopped, then another and another. From the ladies who walked up and down Grand Marais, looking for my glasses to the gentlemen who stood me up and got me into the clinic, these everyday heroes made sure I was okay, got to my destination and was able to call my hubby.
I am okay. My pride was hurt the most. Falling down and not being able to stand up, well... it is not something I recommend you do in public. But if it happens to you, know that there are wonderful people walking among us. They will stop whatever they are doing, and help a complete stranger.
To the people that came to my aid (outside South Windsor Vision Centre on Grand Marais just east of Dominion) thank-you. I can't remember if I said this to each of you yesterday so I tell you all, you've been SPOTTED!!
My downtown experience Saturday night. I was standing on the side walk outside the Bull and Barrel with Lilyana. It was raining and although she was bundled and had an umbrella I was struggling to keep her warm, dry and she was agitated.
A woman walked up and gave me a new poncho for her, I put it on her but it was big and the wind was catching it.
Another mother walked up kneeled down and tied the bottom of it and around the collar like lilyana was he own child.
She said "were professional campers we know the tricks"
It felt so good to be on the recieving end of a good deed. It takes a village. Thank you.
