Still - trashing your cars seems a small price to pay for all the other good stuff in your life.

Can I get a rAmen?! I swear my car is a bigger shit magnet than my husband.

We raced home ahead of this thing, foolishly thinking we might get the groceries in the house before it really hit... made it to about 5 houses down and a big limb came down and bounced off the front of the car (right front corner - again!). One tiny dent, 2 small scratches. Meh.
Trees down everywhere, and cut hay hanging off the power lines like party favors, it's pretty crazy. Just got power back.

Sucky with a chance of suck.

Red sky at night...

Up here in the North, we've been on broil now since mid June. 29 degrees doesn't sound bad, but add the humidex of 38-42 celcius and it's horrendous. To make it all the more interesting, last week near Toronto, 2 people forgot their children in cars and they died. How sad.

I don't think it's sad at all that people who forget their children die, and so much the better that they bake slowly in their cars, the stupid fuckers.
