Now is your chance!

If you ever wanted to come to Texas in the summer, but were afraid of the boiling temperatures (very wise!), Now Is The Time to visit!!! Ok, bring some rain gear, but this feels like the coolest summer EVER. In daytime, it actually gets down to the 70s. The LOWER 70s. Today my car claimed it was 71 degrees IN THE DAYTIME!!! Shocking.

Ok, this pleasure does come with a down side. I've recently learned to recognize exactly what the National Weather Service interrupting a radio broadcast sounds like. It is not like I spend a great deal of time listening to the radio, so the fact that they happen often enough for me to become familiar with the sound.... Eerie. Generally this is the time of the year when we are all on water restrictions, talking about how many consecutive days with 100+ temperatures. But not this year! This year we talk about the difficulty in finding a dry stretch long enough to mow the lawn, how many feet over standard depth the lake is, whether our streets are flooded, and which low water crossings are still open.

Positively freaky.

Any chance you would be interested in coming to San Jose end of August? :-)

Also, when can we bring our paper out for recycling? It's a good thing I didn't do it this morning, because in the three minutes between when I left the house and when the recycling collectors came, it started raining.

Also, how can I get this paint to dry? (That one is courtesy of my boss.)
