delayed flights

Toronto, 2012.08.01

We've had such bad weather that everyone heading West has had badly delayed flights.

What was supposed to be a noon flight for my brother on Tuesday turned into a 18:00 departure, and Wednesday's 09:00 flight for Oma and Opa finally left the ground after 21:00!

It's because of terrible thunderstorms. We've had very little rain this year, and what rain we've had has mostly come in very rain torrential downpours. So it was this week, when some of the first rain in weeks pounded the southern part of the province so badly that highways were closed.

Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power.
