I started writing an entry about how I listen to the news with a certain amount of dread these days because of all the bad things that are going on, particularly south of the border. As I listed the some of the reasons (e.g., gun violence, violence towards the police, the prospects that Donald Trump could be the next US President, the Brexit vote going terribly wrong), it became increasingly harder to finish. So unfinished it remains.

There must be good news stories out there, but they seem to be few and far between.

Lots of exciting weather this afternoon and into the evening:

In a nutshell this evening from now’ish until about 8pm, heavy thunderstorms with big gusty winds. And then tomorrow from about 8am it looks like we’re in for more wind and rain, with possibly some thunderstorms over the lunch hour.
