Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning

Today will be an awesome day. It is August 1st, mid-way through summer, Friday of a long weekend. We're going to Toronto tomorrow for some festivities with the family. ALL of us will be there (14) so it will be a very packed house. I'm not working today so I am going swimming with my sister and our boys when they arrive in a few minutes, then to the library and then off to my daughter's camp for visitor's day.

As an aside, if any of you do live in any of Canada's colder climes, this is construction season. Every street I turn down is blocked for construction which makes navigating the city extra supes dupes fun. Historically, there has always been a very tanned and weathered dude (or the token girl) holding up a stop sign. I have noticed they now have portable traffic lights which frees up this sign holder to stand around smoking and ogling with the other dudes. Progress.
