I haven’t seen the Sun for the past 2 weeks. It’s either blocked out by rain clouds, or on the days when it’s supposed to be sunny, all I see is yellow haze with a marginally bright spot where I assume the Sun is. Naturally the weather is tiring me out like a naked swim through the shimmering arctic sea. Not only are the umbrella-wielding eye-poking fiends out in full force, but this weekend my Canada Day plans were ruined. Instead of going to the beach, having a BBQ, sipping cold ones and lighting a few fireworks, I had to go to the Crown Plaza, eat a $20 burger, down a bottle of warm Canadian Club straight and shoot fireworks off my balcony. Thank God for the Yanks, I get another shot at properly executing those plans on July 4th. Regardless, it sure would be nice if the local weather forecasts were done by real meteorologists instead of the local tourism bureau (who also make appearances at the local zoo in the simian exhibits).

This is what the local forecast is for this week.

And this is what will actually happen, based on my supreme knowledge of complicated weather phenomena, telekinesis, and what it’s been like for the past month.
