Yeah, its a little warm this year in Texas.  We're making up for the last couple years, they were pretty moderate summers.  The only thing that sucks now is we ain't go no rain, you other boys stop hogging it all!!!


DALE: I know what's wrong with your truck. It's your quote unquote pollution controls. I heard on talk radio you don't even need 'em, they're just an egghead government plot.
HANK: How is cutting down on pollution a government plot, Dale?
DALE: Open up your eyes, man. They're trying to control global warming. Get it? "Global?"
HANK: So what?
DALE: That's code for U.N. commissars telling Americans what the temperature's going to be in our outdoors. I say let the world warm up, let's see what Boutros Boutros Ghali Ghali has to say about that. We'll grow oranges in Alaska!
HANK: Dale, you giblet-head, we live in Texas! It's already 110 in the summer, and if it gets one degree hotter, I'm going to kick your ass!

I just got back from Mojave CA.  I stepped off the plane at 9pm and it was near 90 and the humidity was low double digits so it felt like I was standing in a blast furnace.  Spent the next week on the desert floor and it got to 120.  Went to my parent's house near Oakland/SF (don't hold that against them/me) and it was in the upper 50s when I got there.  I damn near FROZE!  Get back home and it's 80 but torential downpours that had sections of the Beltway and other highways shut down and power out all over.  It's still 90+ with the saem humidity and flash floods most evenings.

I never thought I'd say it, but I want to go back to California!

Hey FQ13. I happen to love the cold. The last Ten years it been lucky to get down to zero.   I still enjoy a good -20 every now and then. I'd rather have that then 95 with 90% humidity. I lived in Tulsa OK for a summer and hated it.

If you're too cold you can put more clothes on, but if you're too hot you can't take anything off. That's why I'll always choose cold over heat.

No thanks.  The heat is uncomfortable, but cold hurts.  I can always start dropping clothes if it gets too hot, but you got to layer up in the cold.  And you don't have to de-ice you car every day for a half hour before going to work in Texas.   But that one or two days a year it ices over in Texas, we don't do snow just ice, everything shuts down.  Work, school, me, we don't do nothing then.

Jumbo, you beat me to it.  I'd rather be in shorts and a shirt hot as Hell, than wrapped up like a damn mummy an still cold.  And no shorts wearing in public you drunks.

Today it's hot and dry, yesterday was hot and dry, tomorrow is supposed to be hot and dry, the next day is supposed to be________________________You can fill in the blank.

Those Tx. ice storms a bitch. I got caught in one coming back to Austin from Christmas break. I had to hole up late aftrnoon in this fleabag hotel ($15 a night) outside of Houston for a few hours till it passed. (the first and only  time I ever drew a gun on someone it was that a bad a fleabag). I stayed until midnight and then started to drive back using the backroads as the roads and bridges were closed and I needed to avoid the police since they wouldn't let me continue on. I felt like a damn drug smuggler. It was a hairy trip with about 1/2" of ice on the road and sleet and flurries. I did the thing in Grandma low with the F-150 in 4wheel. The only reason for the insanity was that UT has this rule carved in stone from 18 whatever that if a teacher isn't there the first day of class you lose your job period. It took me nine and a half hours to make a two and a half hour trip. I drove directly to work only to find classes were cancelled. I was not pleased.  
FQ13 who fids it funny in retrospect

I like cold weather more than hot....but my hips and knees don't like the cold.

Hot weather is a real PITA with the type of prosthesis that I use and causes too much sweating....requiring frequent removal and drying and....well...it's a PITA.

I just wish it would stay cooler a little longer in my area than it does........ no -20 crap....but some extra days of 35 to 45 would be nice every year......you know, good long-sleeve shirt weather.
