September 22nd is the 265th day of the year. There are 100 days remaining until the end of the year.

Chatham-Kent is getting a damp, stormy start to the week.

Mainly cloudy today with a chance of showers or a thunderstorm, high 23C. It’ll feel like 28 with the humidex.

Clouds and rain midweek, before some sunshine in the forecast for the weekend.

The Ministry of Transportation is starting construction on Highway 401 from east of Bloomfield Road to west of Merlin Road today. Work is will be limited to the westbound outside lane of Hwy. 401.

Crews will be restoring the concrete pavement surface and repairing existing joints, which will require temporary closures of the Bloomfield Road, westbound on and off-ramps.

Access the to the 401 westbound is available from Highway 40 (Communication Road). Work is anticipated to be complete later this fall.

It’s the final week of the MLB season.

With their win yesterday the Toronto Blue Jays are in the playoffs. They still have a chance to finish first in their division, and gain a first round bye. Toronto has today off, before opening a series against the Red Sox in Toronto tomorrow.

The Detroit Tigers are stumbling to the finish line. Detroit has lost 6 in a row, but they control their own destiny. The Tigers will take a one-game lead into Cleveland on Tuesday for a three-game series that will likely determine the division.

The Toronto @BlueJays are heading to the 2025 #Postseason 😤

Autumn officially arrives at 2:19 p.m. this afternoon.

The Autumn Equinox occurs when the sun moves directly over the Earth’s equator, bringing the same amount of daylight and darkness on that day. We should get around 12 hours of light and dark tomorrow. Tomorrow, the sun will rise due east and set due west, a pattern that will repeat during the spring equinox.

Fall ends on Saturday, December 21st when Winter begins.

Daylight Saving Time will end November 3rd.

The 8th ever International Grave Digging Championship took place in Hungary earlier this month.

The competition brings together professional cemetery workers to see who could dig and refill a grave the fastest while still keeping it neat and tidy.

Each team of two faced the same task—carve out a grave measuring two meters long (about 6.5 feet), 80 centimeters wide (around 2.6 feet), and 1.6 meters deep (just over 5 feet), then replace about 2.5 tons of dirt. Judges scored them on speed, accuracy, and presentation using a 10-point scale. Clean edges and a tidy burial mound carried almost as much weight as finishing quickly. The fastest time ever recorded for the contest was an eye-popping 34 minutes.

This year’s champions were from Hungary and defended their title with a time of 1 hour, 33 minutes, and 20 seconds. Russia’s team finished last, and blamed scorching weather for their finish.
