It's so hot in Toronto.., we can fry "bacon" on the sidewalk.. It's that hot here in Texas most of the time..heard that the northeast is having a heat wave..in the 90's for 4 days running..guess with their humidity, that's pretty uncomfortable.. triple digit weather here is the norm for us. Well.. I am originally from Northern Ontario, so I also like the change of seasons.. When I look at your snow pic.., it makes me think of how I would warm you up.. LOL!

Lots of new faces here, but always good to see the familiar ones.

The summer heat is here. And I find myself sitting and reading what is being discussed in the forums on Mingle2. Great way to mingle with people. It is hot here in central Missouri, rain is needed. No point in complaining about the weather, not much we can do to change it. I've learned to plan my waking hours around the weather. When it is hot I lean towards staying inside with the AC turned on or finding a swimming hole or a pool to stay cool in. if I plan to spend time outside. Stay cool Mingle friends, I'll be looking forward to hearing about how you are handling the heat wave.

Just like we always do...it's an everyday occurrence here..although for some reason we had a' low front' over us this past week and actually got some rain and cooler weather!!!

I always found it a little strange, that we had to learn so much about the US in elementary school.., but that most Americans I knew.., knew very little about Canada..? Some thought we were all living in igloos..! (seriously!!) Here's a funny, but true story... One summer, in my early teens, a bunch of us "golf caddies" were all standing around outside the clubhouse on a lunch break at one of the local golf courses (Northern Ontario... near Manitoulin Island).. It was about 87 on a hot, sunny, July day.... and we were all in shorts, with our shirts off... trying to cool off, before the next tournament round started.. A large cadillac pulled into the golf course parking lot beside us.., with skis strapped to a rack on top... and they had their windows rolled all the way up... (yet, still had the air conditioning on)... The five of us looked at each other and laughed... They pulled their car up to where we were standing and lowered the window to talk with us... The driver leaned over and asked us: "Hey.. Could one of you boys tell us where your ski hill is..?"... ( I looked in the car window and saw that they all had winter jackets beside them)... Most of us were trying not to laugh, but one of my friends walked over closer to the car and replied: "Oh! You guys arrived at the perfect time! We just had four feet of fresh powder, yesterday.. and the hill is in great shape!!"... He then gave them directions how to get there... I had many summer friends who vacationed up there... from Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, etc... Most of them had very little knowledge about Canada.. Some would even ask if the "Indians would attack them"... (Having no idea that I am part indigenous myself).. Some of my full blood friends and I often had some fun, when these visitors would drink too much and get worried about it.. (We were teenagers, remember.. LOL!)

Oh they taught us some things about Canada..but I guess what always stayed with me were the lakes and forests and the mountains..I'm very much all about the isolation of places..I've always wanted to be in a cabin somewhere where the nearest neighbor was days away..guess I was born too late..so I was very disappointed that parts of Canada and even Alaska was so much like our flatlands.
