\u27a2<\/span> Environment Canada warns the brutal heat wave that has settled over much of Western Canada won’t lift for days, although parts of British Columbia and Yukon could see some relief sooner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heat warnings remain posted across B.C. and Alberta, large parts of Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories and a section of Yukon as the weather office forecasts temperatures reaching 40 C in some areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sixty temperature records fell Sunday in B.C., including in the Village of Lytton, where the it reached 46.6 C — breaking the all-time Canadian high of 45 C, set in Saskatchewan in 1937.<\/span><\/p>\n

Forecasters say humid conditions could make it feel close to 50 C in B.C.’s Fraser Valley.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2<\/span> A huge\u00a0<\/span>huntsman<\/span><\/a>\u00a0spider dropped on top of a panicked pilot, just as the plane was landing at a tiny airfield in Australia.\u00a0 Here’s a clip of the chaos and laughter in the cockpit with the discovery of the giant spider.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2 <\/span>A woman\u00a0<\/span>pranked<\/span><\/a>\u00a0a\u00a0phone scam artist by pretending to go live as an investigative reporter who has the FBI on the line tracking the call.\u00a0 The scammer hung up immediately.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

(The scam was brilliantly pulled-off by Jeannette Reyes, who’s a news anchor in Washington D.C.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2<\/span> Salma Hayek says she actually practiced cursing to impress Samuel L. Jackson while filming “The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard” . . . and the language rubbed off on her.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s So Hot That . . .<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sixty temperature records fell Sunday in B.C., including in the Village of Lytton, where the it reached 46.6 C — breaking the all-time Canadian high of 45 C, set in Saskatchewan in 1937.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Forecasters say humid conditions could make it feel close to 50 C in B.C.’s Fraser Valley.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. It’s so hot that Salem, Oregon . . . southwest of Portland . . . reached 117 degrees yesterday, which is a record for the city.\u00a0 In Portland, it was 115 yesterday.\u00a0 115 is the highest temperature ever recorded there since historical records began in 1940.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Portland’s average high temperature for this time of year is about 73 degrees.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. It’s so hot that Seattle also broke a record for the highest temperature ever recorded there: \u00a0107 degrees.\u00a0 And there are excessive heat warnings for much of Washington and Oregon, as well as parts of California, Idaho, and Nevada.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. It’s so hot in Portland that transit\u00a0<\/span>power cables<\/b><\/a>are\u00a0<\/span>melting<\/b><\/a>.\u00a0 And people are sharing\u00a0<\/span>photos<\/b><\/a>\u00a0of how tar is melting off train tracks.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. It’s so hot in Portland that the\u00a0<\/span>vinyl siding<\/b><\/a>is blistering off houses.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            This is all due to something called a “heat dome,” and it was created when the atmosphere trapped hot ocean air like a lid or cap.<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Some areas will start getting relief today, but the cooling process will happen very gradually.\u00a0 And other regions still haven’t hit their peak.<\/span><\/p>\n

            A guy from Wisconsin named Mark Scotch was on vacation in Louisiana early last year, and met a random guy at a brewery named Hugh Smith who\u00a0<\/span>needed a kidney transplant<\/b><\/a>.\u00a0 So Mark offered him one of HIS, but they weren’t a match.<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            He still wanted to help him tough.\u00a0 So he ended up donating a kidney to someone else, which got Hugh a kidney in return.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Then they threw a party at the same brewery last month . . . and Mark rode his bike 1,500 miles from Wisconsin to Louisiana to raise awareness.\u00a0 He called his trip “The ORGAN Trail.”<\/span><\/p>\n

            A Guy Spray-Painted a Stolen U-Haul, but Forgot It Still Said “U-Haul” on the Windshield<\/b><\/p>\n

            No word if this guy got the insurance on his U-Haul.\u00a0 But something tells me it won’t cover this anyway . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

            A 25-year-old rented a U-Haul van in March to drive from Florida to New York.\u00a0 And he never returned it.<\/span><\/p>\n

            But cops finally caught up with him because of one crucial detail he forgot about.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Police in upstate New York were investigating a burglary when they spotted a van with a bad paint job.\u00a0 Some of it was white, but most of it was black.<\/span><\/p>\n

            It turned out Austin spray-painted the van black to hide all the U-Haul logos.\u00a0 And he’d slowly been stripping the parts to sell for scrap.<\/span><\/p>\n

            But the cops still knew it was stolen . . . because he forgot about a huge U-Haul logo at the top of the windshield.<\/span><\/p>\n

            The bad paint job alone caused over $10,000 in damage.\u00a0 He\u2019s now facing multiple charges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            A Drug Dealer Threw a Garbage Bag of Weed Off the Top of a Building . .\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

            In a lot of places, marijuana is easier to get than ever.\u00a0 And in New York City, it’s literally falling from the sky.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Earlier this month, a 29-year-old man brought a GARBAGE BAG filled with marijuana to the roof of a building in Brooklyn.\u00a0 He was apparently a drug dealer, who was expecting to sell 19 POUNDS of weed for $20,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

            But things went south. \u00a0His “customers” pulled out guns, and started attacking him, trying to steal the bag.\u00a0 So the guy just HURLED IT off the roof.<\/span><\/p>\n

            It slammed onto the sidewalk below it exploded everywhere . . . and when the pedestrians realized what it was, they scrambled to grab what they could and then ran off.<\/span><\/p>\n

            The drug dealer was treated for minor injuries at the hospital.\u00a0 And the police are looking for the people who robbed him.\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

            A new study has found that the over-65 crowd have finally mastered the art of the text. In fact, one in three now prefer texting to phone calls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            According to the recent survey of America seniors, figuring out texting and social media has given them a lot of joy because it is a great way to bond with their grandkids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Their favorite emojis are the heart (43%) and the happy face (43%). Other popular emojis for seniors are the beer emoji and assorted animals. One in 10 even send GIFs to stay in touch with their grandchildren.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            One in 3 seniors said the pandemic prompted them to learn how to use social media, and 17% say their children or grandkids introduced them to Netflix during COVID.<\/span><\/p>\n

                    The Story of the New Mexico Cop Turned Country Singer<\/b><\/p>\n

                    This is a great “chasing your dreams” story. \u00a0A Las Cruces, New Mexico police officer named\u00a0<\/span>FRANK RAY<\/b>\u00a0made a life-changing decision back in 2017 to quit the force and pursue a career as a country singer.\u00a0 He was 33.<\/span><\/p>\n

                    It wasn’t random. \u00a0Frank’s a skilled songwriter and performer who grew up in Texas and New Mexico and he’s been soaking up the local musical influences his whole life.<\/span><\/p>\n

                    “There hadn’t been a prominent Hispanic artist, whether female or male, in country music in a very long time. \u00a0You look back at maybe Freddy Fender or Johnny Rodriguez, but there’s not been many.”<\/span><\/p>\n

                    His career picked up steam when a promoter saw him open for\u00a0<\/span>Keith Urban<\/b>.\u00a0 He got him booked into the Texas dance hall and club circuit, and convinced local radio to play his music.\u00a0 But it was Frank’s wife who finally talked him into taking the plunge.<\/span><\/p>\n

                    Quote, “She was like, ‘You’ll kick yourself for the rest of your life if you don’t do it. \u00a0I don’t ever want you to miss out on an opportunity and say you didn’t give it your all.'”<\/span><\/p>\n
