Checking The Date and Walking.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

There is definitely something strange happening around here. When I take Medications in an attempt to make me sleep I can’t, but when I am trying to concentrate on something in the middle of the day, I take Snaps. I tried sleeping in Bed last night and after only Two Hours had to go sit in my Recliner, where I woke nearly Six Hours later.

Looking outside to a clear blue sky, I immediately wanted to get out. I just could not wait and had to go Kiss and Hug Kathy until she woke with a smile on her face. Breakfast was a snack and our Coffees joined us at our Computers. That was where I checked what the weather was going to be like for the remainder of the day. Kathy tried to refute that information, but I cleared it up quickly by simply pointing to the Date on both our screens. Mine won over a Twelve Year Old Report.

After rebuilding our food stocks this past week, I found an amply supply of those not touched. We enjoyed French Toast for lunch, before heading out for a walk.

Rather than following another couple east on Riverside Drive, we headed west. Normally we would turn up Dieppe Road, but I wanted to stay active and asked Kathy if she thought she could walk one more block to Watson Avenue. We took our time and made it all the way to Clairview Road that turns into Clairview Trail. The nice thing about Trails in the city of Windsor, is they have Benches in the shade that help you to catch your breathe. We got to talk to a few people that were being taken for walks by their dogs. George waited patiently while his person explained about losing his wife just after George’s arrival. Now he has a reason for getting up and out. A few more blocks and we were walking into the parking lot, before coming up to our Apartment.

Back on her Computer, Kathy again found a Tornado Alert. All I said was “What is the Date?” Then she asked, “Why don’t they take them down?”

After sharing a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Bacon Pizza for a late supper, we cleaned the Kitchen and put away the Dishes before watching the movie, Avengers, End game. We had not seen this one yet and even though Kathy said she was not watching it, the questions she was asking and the way she was looking over her screen, told a different story.

We’ll see what we can do tomorrow that is better than sitting around.

Seeing The Local Damage In Person.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

I started my night in my Recliner but finished in Bed. I just wish that I could get back to spending the entire night in Bed without the need to straighten my joints to rid myself of their Pain.

I had a surprise waiting for Kathy after waking her this morning. Instead of serving our Leftover Lunch from Thursday for lunch today, we had it for Brunch.

There was plenty of E-reading to get caught up on, E-Mails, Local News and Blogs. It is sad to see more of the RVer Bloggers we used to follow, have not only stopped writing, but have passed away or tragically been in Accidents.

Not wanting our Mail to pile up like last weekend, I decided to combine that with a special ride. Since late Thursday afternoon’s Tornadoes hit the Windsor, Essex County area, Kathy has been focused on her Computer, telling me about this reported sighting and that one as well. One occurred the year she was born, another the year we first started Fulltime RVing. She was so concerned about this latest one, saying it was around the corner, that I drove down Riverside Drive so she could see all the downed tree limbs. Then I turned on the Buckingham and stopped directly in front of the damaged home. A Plywood wall had already been erected, and a Grey Tarp replaced the missing roof.

We were not the only ones doing the same thing. Piles of tree branches lined both sides of the street. Carrying on past Wyandotte the same scene continued. We turned east on Raymond stopping at each intersection seeing more and more piles of Branches. Some Mature Trees were leaned against homes with their Roots pulled from the ground, while others were snapped from the trunk similar to twigs. I’ve seen scenes like this before when we travelled through the Southern States, but not here in Windsor.

Luckily, there was a decent amount of Mail today but one was quite interesting. It was from Canada Post, stating there was mail waiting for us, at the Post Office in Tecumseh. This is not the first time this has happened and there are Post Office locations much closer to our home. No use calling on a long weekend, but I will be interested what they give as an excuse for such Stupidity.

It was past 3:00 and Brunch was long gone so we stopped at Wendy’s to have Lupper. We had Coupons that truly helps reduce our cost. There were a number of Families enjoying, possibly a last meal of summer out, before School starts next week.

We enjoyed the ride to Tecumseh before taking Banwell Road to Riverside Drive East. It was a totally different world from what we had just seen shortly before. There was no Destruction, no Damage, just manicured lawns and gardens.

It was nearly 8:00 before we had a small dish of Frozen Chocolate Yogurt to offset our Lupper. We also watched a “Murder Mystery”. During the show, Kathy showed me a Tornado Warning, no Date, no Location, no Time. It looked like something that a beginner had created, but she believed it. A few minutes later she asked where our visitors had gone. It looks like we’ll be going for group sessions sooner then expected.

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.
