Hope you survived unscathed. I'm still watching the golf. They are on what should be the last of 3 playoff holes.

I don't think the dogs will be thrilled about the idea of going into the little bathroom until the storm passes through.
Ozzie, you'd be livid to know that they have pre-empted the last PGA major of the year, though now they have the golf and the live radar on split screens.

Re: Weather Check!
I couldn't find a book with which to protect my neck
, so I went upstairs and did 30 minutes of an exercise video. Lots of thunder, heavy rain, not much else that I can see. Channel 2 has gone to "60 Minutes" so I'm guessing they don't think there's a threat any longer.
It does sound like Storm #2 is blowing through now, but it can't be but so bad, since the dogs are calmly eating supper.

Today was hot, but I loved the last two days. Overcast skies, nice breeze. I even got out and let my lawnmower kill me.

And on day 28 the 100+ streak finally broke. High today was only 97 and it is sprinkling outside.
Praise Jesus.
It has been a brutal summer here in Austin. We;re still on pace to surpass the record of 69 total days over 100.

Re: Weather Check!
Absolutely, I went out to grill up dinner ~6 and called out to my husband saying, "Hey it's a lot cooler today." He had just mowed the lawn and said he wasn't sweating as hard a usual. Back in March 80 dgr was killing us, now it's sweater weather.CameronBornAndBred wrote:Did you notice a difference?bluebutton wrote:And on day 28 the 100+ streak finally broke.

I got 1.5 inches of rain Friday am. It is raining again this morning. We need the rain around here but I think Texas needs it more. I'd share it with my brother if I could.
