Day 475

• To give you an idea of how dangerous this heat wave is:  Lytton, in interior British Columbia, broke the all-time all-day record for Canada -- the hottest temperature ever recorded in the country -- on Sunday when the temperature reached 45.5 Celsius (113.9 Fahrenheit).
• ... and then smashed THAT by over two degrees Celsius when it recorded 47.9 Celsius Monday.  That's 118.2 Fahrenheit!!!  That is hotter than the all-time all-day record for no less than LAS VEGAS!!!
• And then Tuesday, it smashed THAT by nearly two FURTHER degrees, making it to FORTY NINE POINT SIX Celsius (121 degrees Fahrenheit).
• That is a world record above 50 degrees North latitude by over five degrees Celsius.
• And another piece of evidence that the "Numbered Day" posts aren't ending anytime soon:  A summer camp in Illinois did not ask for any vaccination status information (according to MSN), nor require indoor masking.
• 85 teenagers and staffers of the camp have now caught the coronavirus.
• Sexual harassment has gotten Jared Potter, the ex-GM of the Mets, on baseball's Disqualified List through at least the end of next season.  When does something come down on Bauer????   
• The Cubs scored 7 in the first against the Brewers.  They lost 15-7.
• The Marlins have put 11 on the Phillies.  The White Sox, 11 on the Twins.  (And counting, in both cases...)
• The Nationals, 15 on the division-leading Rays.
• The Braves have put 20 on the division-leading Mets tonight.  Oh gee, you think the Sticky Stuff didn't have an effect?  I'm giving it Sunday, July 4th, before some disgruntled pitcher finds a player and puts 95 up his ear.   
• In what should be the last word to anyone about the power certain people and institutions have in this country:  Pigfucker Bill Cosby has had his convictions OVERTURNED by an appeals court and was RELEASED today.  There are websites which chronicle that "dark side of Hollywood".  I have to wonder how long that shithead has to live before some of his victims just shoot the son of a bitch.
