I have said it and my son Tony has noticed it. The sun here in Manitoba is more intense. You can really feel on your skin when you walk outdoors here. Even though, the temperature is 22 C, Tony says it feels like 30 C and very muggy.
In Wuxi, China, it was very humid. In high Summer there, I would have the sweat flow into my forehead so as to blind me. I was surprised, though, when my students told me that they had never experienced being sunburnt. I mean, it was so bloody, oppressively hot. Often, in the high 30 Cs. But the sun was never intense as it is here. I mean, you can feel the sun's rays on your skin when you walk about Brandon in Summer. Never in Wuxi, where it felt like you were in a furnace; not like you were in an intense tanning booth like you are here.
I can't help myself, I shouldn't talk politics but I can't avoid. My mother playing CBC radio for me is only make my more cynical. The way they use language to frame issues is so biased, as I said in the previous entry.
