It's too darn hot!

Church of God, London, Ontario

If the humidity weren't so bad, I could tolerate these 25°C plus heatwaves. But the humidex is wringing my patience.

Some say the excessive heat is caused by global warming. Dat so? Then how come the almanac records hotter temperatures, decades prior. Take yesterday, for instance. The high of 31°C (the humidex made it feel like 42°C), in Toronto, underperformed the 1937 record of over 33°C. Care to explain that, Al Gore?

Whatever the reason for the heat, it's days like these that make you long for crisp autumn winds, while seeking ways to keep cool. In case you're running out of ideas, here's one: A church with prayer AND air conditioning. That may come in handy for some after viewing Ann Miller's sizzling rendition of Cole Porter's "It's too darn hot!" Now that's cool!
