LOL. I watched 'Lonely Planet' one day. The host was in a small
mining town in Bolivia. While there, he went into a shop and
purchased a few sticks of dynamite. No license. Nothing.

Yet there must be a reason you still live in Canada in spite of all
the gun laws and other restrictions on your "personal freedom".

How is Philly doing with the power outages there from Friday? Want to
see something amazing? I didn't know Philly was hit, but most of the
mid-Atlantic was. In this picture you can slide the middle line to see
a satellite image from Friday night and then Saturday night. Since the
storms came through so late, I'm assuming the Fri image had to be before
11 pm or midnight.

I think Philly is in the 8th day of the heat wave.

No outagges

A couple more days to go according to the talking heads.

I guess the word "clouds" in the after image just means the lights of
the cities couldn't be seen from the satellite. Yeah, I think the heat
wave is supposed to break by Sunday late.
