How to Protect Your Vehicle from a Hailstorm

 

Our Seven Day Forecast

The weatherman says 104 with the humidity means a heat index of 113 degree. After 50+ such days like this, words like "sweltering", "sizzling", and "hot" are no longer applicable.

The Drought is Getting Worse

While the rest of the United States is getting inundated with rain, south Texas is in the middle of a severe drought.  Burn bans have been in effect since the first of the year.  And the playground at our school is filled with deep cracks and holes, which make it dangerous for the children to run on.  (See the toe of my size 7 shoe at the bottom for comparison.)

Drown the Suckers

We've been inundated with rain these past twelve days.  Sometimes it comes down like a gully washer (or as my daddy used to say, like a frog strangler).  And other days like today it's just been a constant slow rain.  Of course, a lot of that credit goes to those tropical depressions and hurricanes that are sweeping past us, or below us, or nearby.  (That's fine with us.  We'll take the rain over a direct hit any day.)

Just when it starts to abate, the mosquitoes appear.  It takes the city about two days to spray, and by that time it starts to rain again pretty heavily.

Here's my advice to the city health department.  Forget spraying. At the rate the weather's going, those suckers will eventually drown.

You Know It's Hot When...

Heehee!  Hubby sent me this one.  I couldn't resist sharing.
