Global Warming...
Well sign me up as a proponent of global warming if that phenomenon produces the weather it has here in parched and arid West Texas. The high today was 65° F. The average normal high should be at least 95° and it wouldn't be strange for it to be 105°. In July of 1994 it reached the all time record high of 119°. Though not offical, I believe that this is the coolest day I've seen in the middle of the summer since my family moved here in 1960. Sure, after a good thunderstorm we can cool down to the 60's but it quickly heats back up. This 60° weather was an all day event and we've had goodly rains this season to boot.
The day reminded me of late summer in Northern Michigan where we and other family have had lake homes. Just down right pleasant. And it's not often, that with all the windows open on a July evening, that the Bride complains of being cold! Hope she remembers that in late August.
