Wet and chilly @ 39 degrees F. Too cold to play in the yard. Going shopping in Cheyenne.
As bad as Dallas gets in August, to really understand misery, you need to go to Houston in August. The temperatures are 5-to-10 degrees cooler than Dallas, but the humidity is ridiculous. You don't know "uncomfortable" until you experience 95-degrees and 80-percent humidity.
Whoa! I hope all of you guys down that way don't end up with flooding or damage.
Big storm!

Sorry to hear that. I sent my husband out for the errandsYeah, got caught in the middle of that storm trying to get home from errands. Not fun!
So will I, if you care to send any this way! I'll take the thunder and lightning, too. Although we're not doing too bad in the excitement department. Three thunderstorms, hail, and a ton of rain in one day a couple weeks ago, over a hundred small earthquakes since the beginning of May, and yesterday, the sighting of a black bear and her cub roaming around by the local hospital about two miles from me. And I'm in the center of the city! LOL
We've had a few days of hot weather and I think we got to 88° yesterday. That's not unusual and it wouldn't be that bad, but it comes after a streak of weeks with temps only in the 60s. Now tomorrow it's supposed to cool down a little. You guessed it - 62° will be our high.
Personally, it could stay at 65 all summer and I wouldn't complain at all.
Caseydog, is that a Portuguese Water Dog in your pic there?
Nope, that would be psycho-poodle. He is on the large size of miniature poodles, the mid-size poodles. I do keep him groomed kind of like a Portuguese Water Dog, now that you mention it. No fu-fu cuts for my poodle.
BTW, North Texas and all of Oklahoma have become earthquake central, thanks to fracking. Oklahoma now has more earthquakes than California. Lucky for me, there is no oil-shale below me, or they would be fracking under my house, too, since I own the house and the surface land, but not the mineral rights for anything below the surface. Those belong to the one-percenters.
