I HATE the heat of Texas Summer and this year is brutal so far. I go by the heat index as that is the actual feels like. It has been close to 110 for far too long already and will be for the foreseeable future. Mowing the yard and doing other yard work yesterday really sucked! I had to take breaks every 20 minutes and drink special electrolyte drinks with how much I sweat and how long I was outside. NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||

I remember my dad telling me how when he was young there were some nights when it was too hot to sleep. Even on the porch. The hell with that. I enjoy my 66 degree sleep temperature, thankyouverymuch. Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here. Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard. -JALLEN "All I need is a WAR ON DRUGS reference and I got myself a police thread BINGO." -jljones | |||

My dad told me the same thing. They didn’t have air conditioning back then. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Sonoran Desert here, too, but at 2500ft elevation, so a bit cooler than the PHX area. The highest we have seen so far here at home is 98°. A few days ago I noticed the RH was 7% and the dew point temp was 17°. This is not our typical spring/summer. June is usually the hottest and dryest month of the year here, just prior to the summer monsoon season. So far, we are hot and dry, but high 90s/low 100s vs a more typical 110-115. When in doubt, mumble | |||

Yep. You guys in central Florida don’t get the trade winds that we get on the Atlantic coast. Huge difference !

It's two showers a day weather down here. That also means more laundry as I have been sweating through my undershirt and shirt. There are positives however: I am looking forward to peaches, watermelon, and field peas. Those are the treats I got at my Grandfather's farm growing up. He would let me pick a watermelon and just eat the heart out of it. The rest went to the cows or pigs. One time, I climbed up a peach tree to pick some peaches and I ran into a snake. I forget which kind, but it was nonvenomous. As for field peas, we would all gather on the porch in the shade and shell peas and tell stories. Field peas are so good. I don't grow my own, but if I see them at the farmer's market, I generally buy the lot. Happy Summer everyone! Beagle lives matter. ______ (\ / @\_____ / ( ) /O / ( )______/ ///_____/ | |||
