Unbearably hot, mostly. We need more rain.
I agree; it's pretty bad - I went downtown yesterday and felt like I was getting heat stroke :too_hot: Forgot about how walking around in an area with mostly buildings and hardly any trees or greenery makes you feel.

Was just reading about "urban heat island effect"



Urban Heat Islands

The urban heat island effect happens because the closely packed buildings and paved surfaces that make up our cities amplify and trap heat far more effectively than natural ecosystems and rural areas, which are often shaded by trees and vegetation and cooled by evaporating moisture. In addition, cities also generate their own heat, which is released from sources such as furnaces, air conditioners, and vehicles.

On a sunny day, paved surfaces can be a remarkable 27-50 °C hotter than the air [4]. The difference is especially noticeable at night, when the heat captured by pavement and buildings during the day continues to warm the city after the sun goes down. Large cities can be as much as 12 °C warmer than their surrounding environments in the evening



And I'm in the middle of Canada! (Wonder what it's like in Texas?)

106,7°F today, that's a new record.
A Nuclear Power Plant has to shut down, because the coolant is to warm.
They get their coolant from a river and the water has almost 86°F
Wow! o_O

Today we are having a mildish short of day - not too hot or humid. We just had a sprinkling of rain.

Perfect weather for squirrel trappin'

Re: Mr. Squirrel (Frank you already know part one of this story)

So - Andy placed his squirrel trap out again last night and this morning when I checked - there was that dumb squirrel - caught in the trap again!

This time I am leaving it in there.

I had asked Andy how he was planning to kill the squirrel :oops: but he said that he is just going to release it far away from our house (in a park far away).

This was last night that we had the conversation, so when I saw the squirrel in there today I did not release him like I did yesterday.

Here he is in his squirrel jail:

Oh yeah - super cute but you should see all the squirrel poop under the cage - I can understand now why nobody wants these little guys too close to a house or garage - can you imagine if they got into the attic!?

Thinking we will drive him out to this place:

Birds Hill Provincial Park

It is at least 25 km away from our place so that should be far enough away

Spideyman - don't worry - we won't hurt him!
