If You Can't Stand the Heat ....

I will not go into the global warming argument here but what the hell is going on? It reached 36c (96.8f) today here in Ottawa. And that was before they took the humidity index into account - anyone remember when we didn't have a humidex?

So is this some sort of punishment for me leaving Roma? Or maybe because New York approved same-sex marriage? Whatever it is going out today - the kids needed food and I needed money to get the kids food - was not a pleasant experience but thanks to my friend Cathy who chauffeured me around  it was bearable.  And also thanks to her for this laugh first thing this morning.

How Hot Was It?

So hot that:


It looks like the heatwave that had us in its grip for most of July has finally broken; now if it will only stay like this for the August holidays everything would be perfect.
