Can You Spell "Hot?"

This is not unusual in deep south Texas.

It was 107 on the 4th of July.

EDIT:

I posted that way too early. Here is the temperature a little later.  It was 100 at noon.  Also, the temperature gauge in my car.

STILL ANOTHER EDIT:  Okay - I took the screen capture of the 107 temp too early.  It got to 108 today - the hottest day in ten years and the hottest day ever in the month of July.  Don't get me wrong - 100 plus days are not uncommon during the summers in deep south Texas.

I occasionally check McAllen's temps from our weather page, and then I remember just WHY I don't come to McAllen in the summer!!

But was the wind blowing? Martha's a whimp.

Yeah, the wind has been blowing ---- a 109 degree wind some days!! Ohio has been damp, intermittent rain, and nice and cool in the 70's. We Texans are *lovin'* it, but not a nice weekend for the picnics we have planned!! xoxo
