JUST A THOUGHT

Ron Giofu

for some reason of being looked at by drivers passing by. Upon further consideration, I jumped in my car and was going to go across the street to North Star High School and take the photo from their front parking lot.

Then, of course, the bus went by.

What should have been an easy photo turned into an event, all because of an ill-timed decision. I watched as the bus turned left on Fryer St. so I headed down Victoria St. S. to see if I could catch up to it at Alma St. Just before I pulled up to the stop sign at Alma St., you guessed it, the bus went by again and I was out of position once more.

Then, my next brainwave saw me try to catch up to it at Sandwich St. North and St. Arnaud St. I drove down St. Arnaud hoping to catch up to it and, yet again, the bus whizzed by just before I could set up for the quick photo.

I made one last attempt and followed the Transit Windsor bus. I watched it turn right on Texas Road as it headed towards the Kingsbridge subdivision. At last, I caught a break and could make up for my earlier mistake.

As I wanted to grab a photo at Walter Ranta Park to go with another story I wrote on the possible boat ramp being proposed, I headed there. This time, I

waited it out and grabbed a photo of the bus as it went past on its way back to Windsor.

It turned out for the best as I grabbed photos at Ranta Park as well.

What should have been the simplest of photos turned into a mini-event, all because of one bad choice.

I work hard and try hard during the course of the week, but sometimes I end up doing more work than I have to.

So, if you ever have one of those days where you think “why did I do that” during a particular moment of the day, you’re not alone. I hope my misadventure last Saturday evening can put a smile on a few faces, and let everyone know we’re all human and make mistakes.
