Post SNM Tour #9
If you are open to it - you can learn something new every day.
Today I learnt that there is a thing called a "weather bomb' - when severe weather comes so quickly and dramatically that it hits a region just like a bomb. So as we were leaving Toronto on our way to Sudbury, we were listening to the news telling us that a weather bomb was going to hit the GTA, moving in from the Southwest with extreme high winds, torrential thunderstorms and even tornados. (I hope this has nothing to do with the city electing a new mayor yesterday). We are currently going north and away from the GTA and have seen nothing untoward so we will quietly sneak away in safety and continue our trek.
We did see pretty hard rains as it got later in the day - maybe a firecracker's worth of weather.

Had a very interesting presentation at Dr Michael Pare's Medical clinic at noon. Much talk about mental illness stigma, vit D, anti-depressants and light therapy - it was a good exchange of ideas and information. Dr Pare is a strong mental health advocate and speaks about stigma and discrimination to the public as well as medical communities (sound familiar?). There are many great people across our country which are like lights shining brightly in the wilderness. May my efforts add to their efforts and together we can slowly make changes in our communities which will eventually influence and change our entire nation!
Radio broadcaster Roger Currie from Regina did a follow-up interview with me this am. What a pleasure working with dedicated career media professionals. Roger is a real pro and it was a pleasure talking with him once again.

(and on this beautiful note I will regret not playing more music in the past few months - I guess a few other things on the go, poor excuse I know....)
I bought a Philips cute goLiteblu from Costco for $100.00 and LOVE it....felt like I have been at the beach whilst we too, are having our first ever weather bomb, Portage getting a 75 ml rain warning...yikes, row row!
ReplyDeleteI got to play in the wind and rain today, as I stuck in the road deflectors while it is soft and easy to do. Love our four seasons and look forward to winter and sunny Manitoba! And if not this wee blue light like the size of an Ipad is way cool and portable....every one who needs one should be prescribed one, they could save lives. or it should be a feature on our computers.....hmmmmmm.....there's an idea! Take care and we shall see you soon!
How about another tour as the physician who will run, cycle and sing across the nation to the beat of the strumming of his guitarar??? How's that for a tri-event? =D
