Seven [7].......

Seven [7] is the proverbial lucky number. I like the number seven [7]and I feel like it has been lucky for me too. Especially today because seven [7] was the temperature when I walked the Big Gold Dog and I was lucky to make it home without becoming a cold weather statistic.

I have the cold weather gear available to wear but frankly living in the desert climes of West Texas I have gotten used to not having to wear it. And I have been in some really serious cold weather before in Minnesota....down close to -30° but I really prefer not to endure this kind of cold anymore. But it is supposed to warm all the way up to a balmy 35° today which will seem like summer in the tropics and by Saturday a heat wave all the way to 60° is expected.

For those out of towners reading, seven [7] in Midland is really not something that is for the record books, the actual record being 11° below zero. Still seven [7] is purdy darned cool when you were wearing shorts just several days ago.
