So. it snowed in Oz this past week. It made the news, worldwide. The weather inAustralia is making the news and so is MBT, My Beloved Toronto.Toronto is on the verge of breaking all records for waterworks. No, not another one of my relationships bit the dust, I'm talkin the Weather Network, rain, Ark building time, checking out boat blueprints at Home Depot. Forget renovating the patio, you're better off building your own personal flotilla, the way the summer of '08 is proceeding.At this rate i expect to see Ogopogo surfacing in High Park.Worse than this summer snag, I happened to speak to a neighbor this morning on the way back from The Second Cup. He told me, he heard on the news yesterday, that people should stock up on food, this coming winter, because it will be more severe than this past winter.Ok, Betsy Balega, is ready to start a Prayer Circle, begging the Weather Saint, to intervene.The winter of 2008 was Mother Nature's version of Psychological Warfare.And it worked.I'm afraid if i see a wooly caterpillar on Mt. Pleasant, wearing double fur, I may melt down on the SE corner of Mt. Pleasant and Belsize (right next to Joey's pub. where I shall be drowning my sorrows in Merlot).The Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church is Joey's neighbor, next door, so before I fall into the wine vat, I'll stop in and plead my case. Like the wooly caterpillars, I'm gonna be prepared.I think there may be a grape shortage in France and Niagara. if my prayers go unanswered.
