The once-a-year Irishman explained &#8220;I&#8217;m usually downtown at one of the pubs yelling at Tartan Army to play Danny Boy by noon hour every St. Paddy&#8217;s Day but this year I&#8217;m at home.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Owens elaborated further &#8220;On a normal year after I hit the downtown pubs I usually head towards the east-end and wait in line for an hour or two to get into another bar.   And I like peeing outdoors and this is the one time every year when that is socially acceptable.   So you can understand why I am so down this year.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked what his St. Patrick&#8217;s Day plans for 2021 would be Mr. Owens answered in a somber tone &#8220;Well, I guess I&#8217;ll drink way too much beer like I usually do but this year I&#8217;ll throw up in my backyard instead of an alley downtown.  First time in 35 years I haven&#8217;t thrown-up in public on March 17th.   We&#8217;ve lost so much in the way of social activities because of the pandemic.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Windsor, ON &#8211; Every year on March 17th when everyone is just a little bit Irish Brad Owens, age 63, of Windsor heads out on a pub crawl to celebrate but due to COVID-19 Mr. Owens 2021 St. Patrick&#8217;s Day &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/whatsupwindsor.com\/?p=1579\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[8],"class_list":["post-1579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-weekly-news","tag-whatsupwindsor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatsupwindsor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatsupwindsor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatsupwindsor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatsupwindsor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatsupwindsor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1579"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/whatsupwindsor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1579\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1582,"href":"http:\/\/whatsupwindsor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1579\/revisions\/1582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/whatsupwindsor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatsupwindsor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/whatsupwindsor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
