April in Southeastern Michigan is off to an
excellent start, with abundant sunshine, brilliant blue sky, and warmth - at
last. But, as the weather channel reminds us, May is the start of tornado
season. And, on this, the first Saturday of the Month, at precisely 1 o'clock
in the afternoon, the electronic whooping of the tornado warning sirens
started. Then again, that’s no surprise, you see, since some time ago
Dearborn's city leaders, in an attempt to protect it's citizens, had
loudspeakers installed on telephone poles all over town, and the system is
tested throughout the year at regularly scheduled times. Here, in the hometown
of Henry Ford, we are used to it. But, for tourists it’s another story.
