History changes Geography

First sight! Definitely NOT love  It has been raining almost continuously for the past 2 months. The ground was saturated and could take in no more. I found myself looking up to the sky and wondering what's wrong? It doesn't seem right. This kind of weather in Calgary? Everything was so green that it should've been Vancouver. Most people(almost the entire population) who live in Canada have a vitamin D deficiency. I am one among them. So, the Sun being absent is noticed. Missed. Even if it is for a day. The trees in the middle is what remains of  Princes Island Park As it is, we get nice weather for 6 months in a year. I wasn't ready to part with 2 more months.  We live farther away from the river. In fact, until people called/emailed to check on me(thanks all) I wasn't even aware of the flooding situation. The part of the city I live in has more open area. If the rain stopped for 2 hours, the road dried up. I had no idea that all that storm water...
Just read this in the news. So painful! Can a mother do such a thing? Beats me! My sympathies with the boy who survived.

Wow, What a feat!

Hangzhou bay bridge Wish, I could just see this, at least from the air :-) 36 km across the sea? Is that something or what? I hope they open it up soon to the public. The statistics are mind-blowing! Where are the Chinese & China headed? Well, at least they make good use of the population they have.
