If you need me I’ll be in the corner melting…
This week it seems that summer has reared up upon its back legs and screamed, “I am here!” At least that’s what I’m guess based on the eyeball-melting temperatures that are in this week’s forecast. Observe:

For instance, on my birthday (which is this coming Wednesday), it’s supposed to go up to a Humidex of 43C or 109F. What the hell is up with that? I was thinking I would celebrate my birthday with a nice birthday pie (much better than cake) but instead I might just spend the day hanging out in the freezer.
Can’t we just have nice, moderate weather up here? Does Canada really need to be a country of extremes when it comes to weather?
If anyone is looking to get me a birthday present, you could get me a personal cooling device or something similar. Or a giant bag of ice.
Vacation in Iqaluit?
So anyway, if you’re wondering where I am, I’m pretty easy to find since I’m frequently found lurking close to our only partly useful air conditioner.

On the other hand, at least I have appropriate hot weather shoes – check out my NAOT review for killer sandals!
Your term “extremes” fits nicely … or not so nicely depending on the point of view.
