The last stop on the Tour D'Ont took us to Orillia, to visit
our youngest sister, Jackie. We left
Oshawa under sweltering heat, which only got worse when we reached
Orillia. Nui has been heard to say that
she would never use air conditioning.
She just about tore Prince's arm off getting the thermostat down to 60
when he wanted to cap it at something like 72.
"My Rig, My Rules". It
got so cold that we had to keep the adult beverages in the fridge to keep them
from freezing.
This morning Jackie treated us to an awesome buffet at
Casinorama. The food was delicious…. And
there was so much of it that none of us could eat again all day, with the
exception of a couple of popsicles. This
is good, since it was too hot to cook.
We made our monetary contributions to the casino gods and
headed back to Jackie's beautiful home (which needs a/c and her pool re-filled {eh,
Jackie…nudge, nudge}) for a nice quiet evening of TV watching, which has been a
rare treat during the tour. TV is a good
thing, since neither of us are particularly interesting.
Tomorrow, we're off to Grundy and putting down roots for the
summer. Prince is looking forward to
returning to the city and his wife and family.
Nui is looking forward to swimming in a lake that isn't radioactive.
Air Conditioning. One of Man's better inventions. I think I'd have to leave the country if we didn't have it. This heat wave is supposed to "break" on the weekend. Well, I hope?
