blamebramptonI arrived home to Mr Brammers asking me: "Have you heard about Canada?"
"Aren't they having an awful cold snap?"
His eyes widened with that boyish glee of having A Fact to impart. "It was warmer on Mars today than in Canada!" he announced.
Darling Canadians, I hope that you are all keeping well. Preferably in Florida!
Or in Australia … We have just finished our hottest year on record and in Central and Northern Australia we've so far spent 2014 breaking the records that were set in 2013. Happily, it's not so bad in Sydney. You can see why I'm such a ranting loudmouth against anti-climate change ideologues, though.

-31 last I checked, for about, oh, the 6th day running. Plus about 17 days of December that were similar. :( However, I am very proud of myself because I start a new pseudo-job on Monday and had to test-drive my new bus route yesterday and it was very DNW for a while and I hemmed and hawed aaaaand.... then I went and took a bus. I know. The payoff of that story is rather low. But! At -31 when I could have stayed home in bed, it was a huge personal victory.
Also, the bus was warmer than my house, so.La. *shakes fist* DAMN YOU, CANADA.
