It's hot in Texas!




It's been over 100 degrees for more than 32 days this summer. Today was over 105! That's hot! I had to take my motorcycle in for service today, and wouldn't you know that I had it scheduled for the hottest day of the summer. I ride an old antique bmw, and it's air-cooled. It didn't cool off much today, in fact I think the motor was cooler than the air. I know it felt like it.

I know I have already complained about the heat, but summer is hard in Texas, and we have at least 4 more days over 100 ahead of us...it's tiring, and expensive to keep cool.

Ok, I got to fuss a little, so what's with the elephant? It just looked a lot better than my day, and the picture made me smile. Hope you had a cooler day than we did here.

I truly loathe Texas summers. I don't think I will ever acclimate to them. My poor son has to be OUT IN THIS HEAT everyday for at least 2 hours (usually more) with a 35 pound drum strapped to his chest. I don't know how he does it.

But I do like the elephant!
