Don't know how many Canucks there are on them boards, but regardless of whether you are fortunate enough to be one or not, I wish everyone an awesome, happy Canada Day!

Me, I'll be off a bit later to eat barbecue, have some brews and watch some fireworks later on.

Merry Canada Day to all our friends and family up north!

I used to call y'all "the frozen chosen," but that was before we spent about 4 years in Alaska.

Good day, eh!

I bet everyone loves this...

Happy Canada Day to my friends in the north! May you have better weather than I am!

It's been a scorcher here. Between 20 and 30 degree Celsius. I'm building a playhouse for my Granddaughter(s) and drinking water like I'm out in a desert.

That's how I spent my Canada day.

What temp would that be in the civilized world? What is this frenchy sounding celsius scam you are trying to pull? whats next? meters? centimeters? Its voodoo says I!

If I read the conversion correctly the temp is running about 68-86F. Here in the lovely Ozarks we have been running close to 100F (37.7C) with humidity at 40%+ making the heat index vicious. We also haven't had any significant rain for about a month and a half. Needless to say it's miserable here.

Not trying to outdo Sir Ironside, but I would gladly switch places with him right about now.

Believe me there are plenty of people around here basking in the glory of heated wonder. Being from Canada I have a lower tolerance for heat.

Add Ectodermal dysplasia (Vampire syndrome) it becomes almost unbearable for me. I stay in a lot when it gets too hot and if I have to go outside I have to cover-up and have to have shade nearby. Sunscreen does nothing.

For the record, from that list I have,

• Abnormal or missing teeth
• Decreased skin color (pigment)
• Heat intolerance
• Poor temperature regulation
• Thin skin
• Decreased sweating because of a lack of sweat glands
• The sun is around twice as bright as a normal person

I literally burn through t-shirts. Sunstroke is a constant worry and you can see why I prefer nighttime to daytime.

Trust me, being a vampire isn't what it is all cracked up to be.

As long as you don't sparkle, you're OK by me.

I almost skipped the border to go into Ontario, but alas, it was not meant to be. Instead, I resigned to play some street hockey with a tin can. Not really Canadian, but oh well.
