How's The Weather

Quote from Stumpy

Sure wish I could, Todd, but my 3 kids (and their collective 7 kids) couldn't afford to move up there with me and I don't wanna move that far away from them. I keep telling my wife that if we ever win the MegaMillions lottery (current jackpot 114 mil), I'm gonna move all of us to a cooler climate. My dream is to live up around Murray's neck of the woods (Vancouver, BC).

As for the cost of living, I believe I've read that Texas is one of the least expensive places to live in the whole U.S.

Besides, my conservative political preferences wouldn't fit in with all those liberals you have up in Minnesota. You're an anomaly, you know.

Don't I know that I am an anomaly. My dad points it out to me every chance he gets. Then I ask him what it's like to be a sheep, then he asked me what I mean, then I say "See, you don't even know what I am talking about unless I tell you!!". It all goes down hill from there!!! HEHEHEHEHE!!!

Don't tell me that your Dad is a member of the DFL and intends to vote for Al Franken? :teeth_smile::teeth_smile:

Well, maybe not!

Let's put it this way...He is really confused when it comes to choosing the president for this election. I have not talked to him about his senate choice yet. We have to tread lightly on these issues. He comes from the old DFL ways. He is fiscally conservative but for some reason thinks the government should be giving things to him. There in lies my greatest conflict with him. I keep telling him that if the government is giving you something, its not the government, its yourself cause your taxes keep going up. Then we get into the sheep arguement and it all goes down hill from there!!!

I don't know what it is about Democrats - apparently they think all that money the government spends grows on trees in Washington. My daughter, bless 'er heart, thinks just like your Dad.

Thank goodness, at least my two sons are about as conservative, in all ways, as their old man. But I didn't spoil them like I did my baby (now 37 years old) daughter. :teeth_smile:

that story give a new meaning to chilly willy now dosent it

cheers smokey

For the past few weeks the humidity here has been awful and at over 80% the full time-not counting when it rained and it rained here several days. Also, this past Saturday was the worst, it was not only hot but the humidity was at 100%. No winds nada-to at least keep think stirring.

Man, today north Texas is getting a year's worth of rain. Love it.....

If Ike continues in the direction it is taking, you may get a lot of rain - more than you bargained for!

Quote from Jay J. Foraker

We're getting that today, Jay. (Just kidding - we always can use rain in north Texas)

The weather is settling into a rut! No rain for three weeks (though some places in north Bexar County got some). Average temps are dropping slowly - only barely reaching 90 degrees F for highs. At least we have some clouds. (I hate those clear sun-bearing-down days). So far, no rain in sight!

We have been enjoying nearly perfect weather the past week. Lows in the forties at night, daytime highs ranging from high seventies to low nineties.

Now . . . if we could just get some rain . . . it's been MONTHS, and before that, we definitely had a lower-than-average year.

we have had some bad storms blow on through, hail , flooding rains in the low areas and strong winds, quite cool still at night but lovely days we had a 34C day this week looks like summer is coming on in at long last

cheers smokey

Im like Jay, I hate cloudless days-mainly because it only means we'll be in searing heat by noontime. However, we're starting to gete only into the upper 80's daytime and upper 60's.

That cold front we were supposed to get in on Monday, seems to have decided not to come our way after all but it is still supposed to cause our winds to shift to a more Northerly direction meaning that we will FINALLY be losing some of that doggone humidity.

Hi

Sitting here typing this the doors are open and the sun is shining clear blue sky and quite pleasant going to be a good weekend.

Regards

Bit foggy first thing this morning but rest of the day was lovely + sunny

same up here - bit foggy to begin with then nice and sunny - should be ok for a good weekend

We are getting rain. Overall the temperatures have been 75-80 in the day and 55-65 at night.

We are still enjoying cool nights (into the forties) but it's been in the mid- to upper nineties the past few days . . . TOO hot for my taste!!

Mrs. C

well.... i have to say here in sunny lancashire it is like summer today - get the bbq out
