There was an airshow in town this past weekend. Have a look here at the Snowbirds flying in tight formation. I wonder how loud it is from inside the plane?

Students

And today begins another day of strike action at the University of Windsor. Students are caught in the middle between faculty and administration and there isn’t a whole lot to do except try to keep up with readings and coursework as best as possible and let both sides know that we’re hoping for a resolution soon.

Campus is Deserted

The strike continues at the University of Windsor. Faculty and librarians have been on strike since September 17th, 2008 and classes are already cancelled for tomorrow. At least the mediator came back to town yesterday and word is that the administration is talking at last. There’s a media blackout so we won’t hear much until it’s over which will hopefully be soon. In the meantime, the campus is deserted beyond the picket lines.

Today’s photo: WUFA on Strike – Rally of Support, originally uploaded by Mita.

The strike continues at the University of Windsor campus. Faculty and librarians went on strike September 17, 2008. The administration won’t talk to anyone including the mediator and students are frustrated. Facebook is running the rumour mill at full speed and another week of no school begins.

Hawk Face

It’s hawk migration time. Holiday Beach hosted their annual Hawk Festival last weekend and the one before. I’m definitely keeping my distance from this bird.

Mastronardi Estate Winery

Second stop on Saturday’s Wine Trail Ride with WindsorEats was a stop at Mastronardi Estate Winery. Here we saw more vines, learned about how they keep things warm in the winter, and saw the red grapes changing colour from green to red.

There’s another ride in September so if cycling across the county tasting wine sounds like your cup of tea keep and eye on the WindsorEats blog.

August Wine Trail Ride

Candace — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 11:33:45 +0000

This past weekend I headed out with the WindsorEats gang for a 25km Wine Trail Ride through Ruthven and Kingsville to check out three local wineries for tours and samples. We finished the ride here at Aleksander Estate Winery for more wine and a fabulous barbecue of local foods all grown within ten minutes of the winery.
