lightning without clouds or rain

Toronto, 2017.08.01

July went out with a bang - thunder, that is - under sunny skies without rain. It was hard to see the lightning against the glare of the sun, but it must have been there.

August is being a bit more traditional - tonnes of rain with today's thunderstorm. Happily, I was still at work rather than on the way home. Mari had a flat when we went to Tommy Thompson on the weekend, and I've been riding around without a spare for the past two days.

I'm particularly averse to a good soaking right now, as I have my fourth sinus infection of the year. Fourth! In August!

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time.
