People are IDIOTS!   There is zero excuse for leaving kids or animals in a hot car....ZERO.  Grrrrr.   I agree in a severe penalty for this negligence.

I'm loving the heat, spent the day at the pool.  Wish I could just live there.

Perfect weather, cannot really complain.  As long as it doesn't go above 31C which is very rare in the south coast and is very common in the USA so consider ourselves lucky with this perfect summer weather.   

Uhh...its 33-34 all over Vancouver right now.

I am not in that area where it's 33-34.  29C was the high where I was.   I have been experienced far worse heat wave comes with humidity than Vancouver is experiencing right now.

Start work at 7am, sweating like a pig by 7:15am, still love it.  One thing I hate is the smog from forest fires, it is already looking pretty hazy out there, at least yesterday.  I start my holidaze in August, please don't be as bad as it was last year, I want to enjoy the beach and be able to see the sun. 

 

Also the sauna helps, I sweat it out before bed and cool off with a glacier like shower.  Sleep like a baby, surrounded by beautiful women.

Never leave people or pets inside a parked vehicle.

I love the heat too!

 

Vancouver = cold summers and mild winters. People haven't experienced heat until they leave the lower mainland!
