Patios are deserted as humanity bakes on South Bayview

How hot was it on Bayview Ave Saturday afternoon? It was so hot you could throw ice cubes at the patios (please) and never hit a soul. Happily, the power stayed on and there were lots of in and out cooling stops available for those who had to walk the length of the business district. Who knew walking through the cosmetics department at Shoppers Drug Mart would be so pleasant for a man? Even the diehard perpetually door-open Elegant Garage Sale had its door closed Saturday. This otherwise cool Bentley Continental GT (below) looked sweaty too although the owner was no doubt calm about the $250,000 Canadian price tag.

Over at Toronto Zoo, they introduced the Panda twins Jia PanPan and Jia YueYue to ice. What was the rush? It’s July 23 already. This shows Jia PanPan ( the brother) while YueYue was napping. Smart girl.
