One benefit of this blog is that a search for materials sometimes prompts me to find old photos to scan. If there was no need to fill an entry, they'd surely sit forever in my photo suitcase in the closet.Right now, I'm not wearing a shirt because it's so hot. This year, Vancouver has had a very warm summer with lots of sunshine. Furthermore, in a couple of weeks, we're off to Sri Lanka and Singapore for several months. The temperatures in countries near the equator don't vary greatly. In Colombo, it seems to be exactly 32C (89F) every day!
Because this photo is such a contrast to the discussion of heat, I've included it. Here is Jay the first winter after arriving in Canada. We went down to the Lynne and Joel's house at the Pass for Christmas. There was a major blizzard, the Interstate highway was closed for three days, and we were stranded. However, we had fun zooming around on snowmobiles. Jay had seen and walked in snow when we once travelled to Turkey from the Middle East, but he'd never seen this much!
