TEMPERATURE PAIN RELIEF TO TORONTO

For over two weeks Toronto has been in a bubble of very high temperatures and humidity. Until last evening when a rain storm crushed the heat by a few degrees, it was a disgusting experience for us Torontonians.

Too much information alert: There were times where I was showering three times a day and changing into fresh clothing after each. For me it was the only way to stay sane after my various sojourns outside. No, I don't have air conditioning in my apartment; just a nice fan.

All blog-bitching aside, I don't mind the heat too much. It's all relative; some friends of mine despise the extremely high temps and humidity, and pray for the cooler air of the Fall. Which, given the speed at which 2013 is going by, is fast approaching.

The mercury will be falling down to about 16 degrees Celsius overnight. That's the lowest it's been for a while. Perfect for sleeping....

The Friday storm knocked over a tree on our street. Miraculously, it missed the woman and her two toddlers on the sidewalk, and missed all of the power lines on the corner. The tree is still there, stretched across the pavement, blocking through traffic, but it could've been much much worse.

Wow. Good to hear nobody was hurt. I remember hearing, and feeling, a big "thunk!" during a windstorm one night a few years ago. About an hour later came the sound of multiple chainsaws. Sure enough....
