Here on the Canadian Prairies it has been hot and dry the past few weeks, though not as stinking as last year. My family and friends in Ontario are none too happy with all the cold and wet they are getting, but we would have loved it! Both Lisa and I are Rainy Day People and neither of us like the heat.

I suppose now it would be selfish to want the rain, as the farmers here will need the sun and dry to do their harvesting. I feel for them though. We've had a ton of hail this year, and the crop damage has been rather substantial. My dad-in-law sells steel buildings to farmers and he is hearing many tales of woe due to the hailish weather this year.

From just a personal perspective, it's been an enjoyable and relaxing summer overall.
