KENORA DAY (*SHIMMY!*)!!!!

Seeing that I cannot seem to tease my Winnipeg friends into another outing, where we descend upon some unsuspecting town or borough, and proceed to fill it with desperately compressed glee, whether they want us to or not, I decided to have my own outing…and so today, I had a KENORA DAY (*SHIMMY!*).  The shimmy is there because one has to actually shimmy while saying this, and grin at the same time.  It is kind of like walking and chewing gum at the same time, or something even harder for me, walking and talking at the same time, as I seem to end up face first into brick walls or telephone posts!

Actually, I had a most interesting trip.  I think the trip for more eventful than the actual BEING in Kenora, even though I did meet up with a very good friend and we had coffee and chatted for a while.  It seemed to me that everytime I drive out of Winnipeg, all the bugs come out of their respective bogs and oraphaces ro descend upon my windshield!!!!  AH!  The sight of BUZZKILL to brighten a Sunday afternoon stroll!!! I cannot speak for anyone else, but I seem to attract these desperate creatures, who have such a desperate death wish as to fling their corpi unto my windshield at high speed!  Everyone else on the freeway was happily moving along, and I kept having to drain my windshield washer fluid to keep being able to see where I was going!  They are out to get me the little BUGgers!!!

When I actually GOT to Kenora, I parked by the Safeway where I met my friend.  As I was heading into the building, I saw the front of my rented car.  It was like a graveyard for bugs!  Three dragonflies looked like they were trying to sabbotage my engine by wedging themselves into the car’s grill!!!  There they were, wings and all sticking out of the grill, dead!  I have never seen so many fly guts in my life!!!

Aftetr my visit, I headed BACH to Winnipeg, and, like earlier on in the day, SPLAT, SPLAT, SPLAT!!!!  One after the other, they hurled themselves to their death upon my windshield, guts and all!  When I finally made it into Winnipeg, I went straight to the carwash!  Even though I had to pee so badly, that HAD to wait! 

So other than the great time I had with my friend, the main highlight for me on this trip was the vendetta that played itself out to the guey end, and the revenge I got to inflict by the power of the touchless high velocity spray of the wash!  So what’s next?  I am sure that tonight I might be haunted by the ghosts of these six-legged and winged little beasts!!!
