When buying multiple things on Amazon, always seems to be the 1 item that isn't available from the BC centers and has to come from Ontario.... Never seems to fail...

Our Kenmore freezer also has a light. My old Creda dryer had a light, my current Samsung has a light. It happens to be the same bulb as the microwave.

My mom (Palm Springs) and sister (Phoenix) are getting quite the heatwave.

Phoenix currently 48C

Palm Springs temp 47C

American Airlines has a hub in Phoenix and had to cancel flights this week, mostly with Bombardier Regional jets due to the heat.

Death Valley is 50C currently.

I feel like an episode of Seinfeld. Pizza place won't deliver to our address, but use the address across the street and they will deliver...

It's probably the address is blacklisted for some reason. You could try giving them a call and asking if they can arrange a delivery, perhaps?

Car accident on the main road turned our back alley into a major road for a while. Bumper to bumper traffic in the alley for half an hour.

The picture is from twitter, not mine. .
