Home Security Cameras

Last week I had home surveillance
cameras installed on my house.
What I like the most about the
system I purchase is that it
provided software that allows me
to view my property over
a computer from anywhere in the
world. It also records 24/7.

I was thinking to myself, "If I
posted my IP address I could
have more than just myself keeping
an eye on my property." It's
something I am considering doing.
We'll see.

Still No News

All's quiet. I haven't heard
from anyone.

As it turns out I am not the
only homeowner that has not
settled as yet. There is one
other homeowner that has not,
possibly two.

I wonder what the game plan is
going to be once I'm the only
homeowner left, surrounded
by sharks - I mean my new corporate
neighbours.

On my way to work on Tuesday, I
noticed three police vehicles parked
on Cadillac Street. I noted that
the first vehicle was parked in
front of Brian Rizok's old house.
Brian Rizok is the gentlemen that
the Windsor Star interviewed back
in April 2007, "Power plant project
irks resident", complaining that
he was being treated unfairly
by EWCC. Obviously everything
worked out for him because the
house is empty and he's gone.

I asked an Aecon worker if the police
were doing training. She answered,
"Yes." This time there was no
sign on the sidewalk advertising
the police were training. If I had
remained at home, I wouldn't have known
the police was even around. That's
how quiet they were, at least while
I was home. I never saw an officer,
just the three vehicles.

When I see the police being provided
with the empty houses to do their training,
I think to myself it's a good thing that
EWCC/EWCP didn't manage to get a
demolition permit from the city. I'd be
screwed. I wouldn't have a chance with
the police. Maybe I'm wrong and I hope
I'm wrong, but that's what I think.
Corporations are not generous by nature.
If they are being generous it's because
they expect something in return.

I've noticed that people that are enamored
with a corporation tend to take on the
corporation's Jekyll/Hyde personality.

And I still don't think I'll be
getting anything in writing from the
permit manager.

Enwin Utilities - Power On

My power is on. It was turned
on by Enwin within an hour of being
turned off at 9:30 a.m. yesterday.
SO everything is hunky dory on that
front.

Not long ago I heard a loud BOOM! and
my house shook like something hit it.
Scared the pjesus out of me. I looked
out my windows and only saw a Fedex
delivery truck parked out front of
Aecon (Our Lady Rosary Church - Cadillac
Street view). The delivery person was
unloading boxes on to a trolly. Nothing
unsual there. I open my front door and step
outside. I look next door, no damage,
it's still attached. Then it occurred to
me that maybe it's the Police Service doing
training again at one of the empty houses
on Cadillac Street. So I poked head
around the side of my house. I didn't
see a sign on the sidewalk advertising
the Police Services presence. So I
don't know what the cause was.

The last time this happened I had
visions of a giant wrecking ball
hitting my house. It was Tuesday
February 5, 2008. Scared the crap
out of me. It took a couple of minutes
for me to peel myself off my ceiling
to venture outside to see what kind
of damage I would find. I found none.
What I did see was a sign sitting
on the sidewalk in front of what looked
like the second or third house on
Cadillac Street, advertising the Police
Training Services. I presumed the
source came from there.

I thought maybe they were doing training
in handling bombs, which I thought at the
time, if they were, ironic or maybe a better
word a coincidence, maybe both, given my
post of the day before (February 4th, 2008).

Anyways all seems to be well - for now.

Enwin Utilites

I got a automated telephone message
from Enwin Utilites yesterday. A male
voice said that the power will be off
from 9:00 a.m to 10:00 a.m for the 200
block of Cadillac Street and 2900
block of Riverside Drive East. Ordinarily
I wouldn't give Enwin turning off my
power a second thought, but that was
before EWCC/EWCP.

I haven't received a written response
from the city's permit manager. It
doesn't look like I'm going to.

If you haven't already, check out my
earlier posts.

Edit In

I just got a knock on my door
from an Enwin worker. He told
me that the power will be going
out at 9:30 a.m. for an hour.
I appreciated that. It means
everything is ok. Nothing to
worry about. I'm off now to
have my second morning cup
of tea.

Have a good day everyone.
