As typically occurs on slow news days, the media turns their attention to truisms like "the summer season is hot".   When the City of Toronto issues "heat alerts" and "heat emergencies"... like magic... we have a sound bite from the Medical Officer of Health with warnings to the young and the elderly.  More grist for the proverbial journalistic mill.  Still... do we not reserve the right to any common sense any longer?

 

"Hey... it's sunny, humid, and 40+ degrees outside.  Gee... think it's about time to tackle that roofing project."  Not a likely consideration for most.  I guess we need to legislate common sense for the rest.

 

On the topic of weather... this past weekend gave way to some unusual weather patterns.  On Saturday Crystal and I spent the afternoon at the "Beach" area to soak up the culture at the Beaches jazz festival.  While we walked down to the boardwalk, we got caught in a brief sunshower.  Upon arriving at the boardwalk, we confronted a wall of fog blowing in off the lake.  Is this an effect of the hot temperatures we've experienced over the last couple of weeks?

 

Below are a few photos showing the fog... as well as a few other photos from the walk along the boardwalk.
