I only read one hockey blog; that of Jes Golbez. Jes has a tremendous blog that I check thrice daily for updates.
Why am I telling you this? Well Jes updated today with a

Many people who use this website aren't that computer savvy. I've always wanted a guestbook to hear
from these people because I know they're probably too inept (or lazy) to use the forum. So now there will be a comment line at the end of
every post and you can check out the guestbook and post your comments. So let the fun begin. I know the Amherstburg BMX
guestbook got pretty
out of hand; we're going to have to see about this...
Anyway, I still advocate the use of the forum; but if you just want to drop a quick line; then a comment in the guestbook is better than
nothing.
Don't care about a guestbook? Well if you're so above us, why don't you go share a
$400 hamburger with 50 Cent.
On a side note,
50 Cent is such a douche, hopefully they don't let him back in
Canada.
If you read that article
realize that; the MP may want 50 out because of glamorizing violence. I DON'T support that view; I'm just sick of him
buying up all the burgers.

Scott
produced another groovy movie already.
He hurried because he wanted to inform
his fans of the upcoming Windsor Film
Festival. So check that out, as
always, in the right-hand column.
Since
I'm tired & that wasn't much of an
update...here's a picture to hold you
over.

Getting
really behind on updating BRN with
school getting in the way. Here's
my attempt to try & get back...somewhat.
Anyway,
found out that
the building we went into which we
thought was the Packard Plant, was
actually the Fisher Body Plant 21.
That was
determined during some online research;
Chris was there & said that the building
(the Fisher) looked interesting so we
should go back. It raining and the
fact that the building is in a mellow
neighborhood with no guarding / trouble
going inside; we figured why not.
10/08/05: The Fisher Body Plant 21 &
Detroit Police Scare Tactics.
After
reading that title you may be wondering
why it's named that.
Well...I
was chillin on this one part of the roof & Chris/Donnie went to
check out the water tower...well while over there, Donnie peered over the side
of the building to see cops rolling up the road saying something over the
loudspeaker. Well he looked where they were going & there was 3 cop cars
waiting by the entrance, great I thought. We needed to get out of there.
So we went
downstairs (guided by cell phone light) into a lot of darkness & went and
checked if they were still there...they were & we decided to find another exit.
Well we found
another exit & they didn't see us, but my van was parked on the road that the
Fisher Body Plant courtyard is on. So we walked in a big circle to avoid the
cops but as we walked up large spotlights hit us...
Detroit Police:
"Put Your Hands Up!"
Detroit Police:
"Keep walking towards us"
(I squint trying
to see them)
Detroit Police:
"Don't look at us"
Detroit Police:
"Single File"
(We get about 15
feet away from the cars)
Detroit Police:
"Alright spread out; hands up higher, higher; spread your legs apart, more,
more"
Detroit Police:
"What are you doing"
Us: Walking
around over there (we point over by I-75)
Detroit Police:
"We know what you were doing, we saw your van"
Detroit Police:
"Where are you all from"
My friend:
Windsor, Ontario
Detroit Police:
"Are any of you citizens of the United States"
Us: "No."
(The
following is a direct quote, I'm not exaggerating)
Detroit Police:
"Well let me tell you something that being white, many of us (he said us) fall
victim to violent crimes in these neighborhoods. So on behalf of Detroit
tourism, run the fuck outta here."
(We all run back
to the van, Chris fully laughing.)
It was quite the experience; the only thing that sucked was that my friend threw
my camera into some weeds once the spotlight hit us because he thought the cops
would look at it & determine we were in the building. (This would be common
place in Canada.) So we drove around for about an hour giving the cops time to
leave; we drove up a cross-street & as we passed we all looked and saw that a
cop was still there. We couldn't believe it. So we went to a parking lot on
Chene & slept for about an hour & went back again; this time there was now 4 cop
cars parked there. We drove around until 11 hoping that shift change would occur
& tried once again. Our hypothesis about shift change was true & we searched the
weeds with flashlights, found my camera & got the hell outta there.
That was
quite the Detroit experience for sure.
And don't get me wrong, the use of the
term "scare tactics" is only in lack of
a better term. The police were
tremendously nice for simply having fun
with us; after all we were somewhere we
shouldn't have been.
Secondly,
we went into the real Packard Plant days
later. The pictures are much
better even though we all argued which
building we liked better.
10/10/05: The Real Packard Plant
As Ludwig
would say, "what the fuck is up with
Durocher going into abandoned buildings
these days."
The next
update should be quicker & abandoned
building free; but I can't guarantee
anything as I'm going to Detroit to see
Vanilla Ice tomorrow.
Yes you
read that right.
