Sure enough, temperatures hit about a million degrees around here yesterday.
Among other things, I am seriously considering checking out
Gila Window Films,
a product to address this recommended by Enahs (there are just a few small
attic-type windows up here, but any little bit helps). Even then the AC up here will clearly remain a
few BTUs shy of what's required... at one point yesterday I started
seeing mirages.

The decision in the upcoming Canadian Federal Election is no better than you're faced with down there. People are so mad at the ruling Liberal party that they just want to vote against them. But the other main contender is the Conservative Party, which isn't anything like choosing the lesser of two evils by any stretch... more like a different, but just as evil, evil.We're likely going to get a minority government of one or the other, complicity. (For those not in the know, this means one party gets more seats then each of the rest of the parties, but not more than the rest combined). So get ready for a new election in less than a year.
At least there is likely to be less regionalism this time around, unlike the last while, where the only party to elect from across the country was the NDP(!). Historically, though, we're a two party system (liberals and conservatives), with one party dominant (liberals). The conservatives have far more consecutive/consistent successes at the provincial level than they do federally.
At least the municipal politicians don't have parties. Yet.
There's a man out there I haven't seen in 15 years who's trying to kill me.
Use your head, don't lose it - Don't feed the trolls!
