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!
