Careful what you wish for
It was 37 degrees yesterday, and 100% humidity. Yep. And may I clarify... I'm in Canada.
For those of you (Americans) who have yet to join the world in using the metric system, that translates to 99 degrees Farenheit. It also translates to "Fucking Hot & Sticky".
There was talk of possible rain in the afternoon. I SO wanted it to rain to break the humidity. I wished for clouds and rain and a breeze.
All of these eventually came at 3pm, but in the form of a kick-ass, in-your-face, grab-your-loved-ones-and-take-cover storm. Thunder, lightning, trees uprooted, wires knocked down.... it was pretty intense.
Of course, this was followed by a city-wide power outage. It lasted 9 excruciatingly hot hours.
We ate sandwiches for dinner. We perspired. We played cards by candlelight for hours. We perspired. We ate all the frozen yogurt in the freezer, in order to "save" it from melting. We perspired.
We dismantled R2D2 in order to be able to open the bedroom window and get some air while we non-slept in thebedroom sauna.
All I asked for was a little rain and a breeze. Sheesh already.

Damn. I'm in Atlanta, and we're just now hitting the low 90s. But global warming isn't realy, you know.
BTW, found your link on Passion of the Dale ...
Yes, and apparently, Global Warming is also finnicky. This afternoon, after a light storm, the temperature is now just 16! (That's 61 in Americkese)
It's crazy effing weather season so far! No power outtage here but maybe we weren't trying hard enough.
I do wish they'd start using Fucking Hot & Sticky alerts on the weather channel though.
i'm praying for snow
I got sick from too much air conditioning. I'll take hot anyday.
Everything in moderation, grasshopper.
