It happened on September 8 2007. It was a beautiful fall day. Anyone that knows me, knows I love to go for bike rides especially in Puslinch Township. So it was that Saturday in September I went for my 30km ride. I missed an event that still makes me wonder what the heck happened.

When I returned home a friend of mine, who came to visit while I was away on my ride, was real excited about what he videotaped on the other side of the Mill Pond in the Hespeler part of Cambridge Ontario. He and two young girls claimed they saw an alien. You see the park where he filmed the video is out back of our house.

Now I thought this was pretty funny, so I watched the short video clip on his camera and had to admit something was up. It was loaded on You Tube and the Hespeler News website and 2 years later over 54,000 people have viewed it and 172 people have commented on the video.

I really don’t know what to think about the whole issue as my friend has moved away and will not talk about that day. What I can say is I absolutely love the comments people have made about the video. I have burst out laughing reading them. Enjoy the video and comments it certainly makes for interesting conversation.

Here is a photo of Candyland on King Street in Cambridge as part of Christmas in Cambridge. It runs until December 14th.

Brian Gardiner, one of the voices behind At Home in Hespelar, was kind enough to allow us to use the photograph above as one of the banner images of the website. He snapped this picture while on a walk in his home town of Hespelar, I believe, which means that he’s looking west, and the Speed River is on his right. This is just one of the many beautiful scenes you can photograph while wandering around the Region of Waterloo and County Wellington. Count on seeing Elora Gorge photographs on this site, sometime.

I should mention that one of the banners for this website has been cut from this picture above, entitled Grand River 5:55am.. The distinctive arched bridge is one of the symbols of the region, in my opinion, linking Kitchener to Cambridge more visibly than the Highway 8 bridge does.

The photograph used here with the kind permission of the photographer Phrenzee. Many thanks!
