Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Even though the worst of the Storms had passed before our “Local News” aired yesterday, finding out the truth would require some investigating.
I tried going directly to Bed after writing the Blog but there was no fooling my body. After staring at the Ceiling for less then an Hour, it was a simple process of returning to my Recliner. Within Five Minutes I was relaxed enough to sleep for Three Hours before returning to Bed. Why I did not immediately fall to sleep the first time is a mystery because it only took a Minute the second time.
When
we started our day, one only needed to look outside to see the huge
puddles all over the parking lots. There were
no Walkers,
Joggers
or Cyclists
using the Ganatchio
Trail,
probably for that very reason.
After out breakfast snack, (Yesterday’s Leftover Lunch will last another day), we did as we do most times, took we our Coffees to our Computers. The Weather Network and The Windsor Star had enough pictures of Damage in the Windsor and Essex County area to know, yesterday’s storm was Tornadoes.
One house we often drive by on Riverside Drive, had its Roof and a Wall ripped off and deposited on a House over a block away on another street. Thankfully, nobody was home at either address. Out on County Road 11, a row of Fourteen Power Poles were snapped at the ground before blocking the road. Every year the town of Harrow holds a Fair on the Labour Day Weekend. A number of the Vendors Tents were tossed around. Luckily, The Tornado Alerts on everyone’s phones save a lot of injuries from happening.
I also found a Comment from Thevon, that I would use to fix last night’s Rubbery Meat.
We shared a small Store-Bought Italiano Pasta Salad for lunch with a couple of Cookies for dessert.
With the Rain finally stopping around 1:00 we took the time to clean up the kitchen. As soon as that was finished, I immediately started to dirty up most of those clean Pots. In his Comment Thevon said to cook the Meat on Low and Slow, but I went one step farther. I sliced the leftover Meat into small slices before adding more Vegetables in the Crockpot. I like simple tools and cooking implements, but this Crockpot is not simple. After Ten Minutes I went back to check but found the setting had changed from Low to High. It took another Ten Minutes to get it to stay on the lower setting.
Our daughter Rose called to see how we were doing, but after only Ten Minutes of talking, her Twenty-Year-Old Phone started cutting out. We reconnected only to have the same thing happen another more Two Times. We’ll talk again soon.
It all came out tender on a bed of Penne and there is enough for another meal this coming week maybe Tacos.
The “6 o’clock Local News” showed government investigators confirming the number of Tornadoes and more pictures of the damage. The house where the Roof landed in her driveway, the woman was caught up in Traffic due to non-working Traffic Lights. If she had arrived home at her normal time, she may have been a casualty.
We later watched an episode of “Law and Order, Special Victims Unit” that I had never seen before and it had Jerry Lewis as a guest star.
Looking forward to a relaxing night’s sleep and getting out tomorrow.
