Heat!!!!

Just sounding off about the recent heat wave here in Texas. It is horrible. I do my one 'long' walk with my labrador retriever, Clementine, early so that her paws don't get burned by walking on the hot pavement. I could complain about the high electric bills, but us folks in Texas worry about something even worse: the grid going down.
I am really looking forward to cooler weather.

I'm no good in the heat either. I would love 40 to 78 degree all year.

It hasn't really hit us yet, which is extremely unusual. I'm still opening some windows at night as it's cooler outside than in the house. Later this week we're supposed to get hit though.

Connie and I are pretty much staying inside. She gets out in the heat and humidity and just cannot breathe. Been getting rain here and there, so that just makes things really sticky. At one point I looked at my weather station and the "feels like" temperature was 124.7.

One interesting thing about this, though. Pretty much convinced me that if I get a tractor, I need to get one with a cab on it with air conditioning. Probably would be great during yellow fly and mosquito seasons, too. And I have heard of a number of people running over top of a yellow jacket nest that had them leaping off of the tractor and to heck with where it ended up. As my friend Rickey put it "I had to de-ass from my tractor!"
