I'm shocked by the memories that photo has unlocked. Early 90s road trip with my parents to their friends' living in Vancouver. Sleepless nights in the summer heat and humidity with no AC. All while reading Cliff Stoll's classic The Cuckoo's Egg.

Sleepless nights in the summer heat in Vancouver? Was this during a heatwave? Because average highs in July-August in Vancouver are just 22.2c: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver#Climate
I have had quite a few sleepless nights in Vancouver over summers, and I don't live there, so I must have hit a heatwave every time I was there ....
It may have been... and coming from the very dry prairies, any humidity felt uncomfortable.
