Record breaking temperatures today

On my previous post, I mentioned that the weather guys were forecasting it would reach 103 degrees today.  Little did I suspect it would reach 107 degrees (41.6666 Celsius) breaking the record for this day by 5 degrees.

I had no intention of leaving the house but I had totally forgotten that Easter was just around the corner and unless I actually wanted to have to drive to Austin, Texas, I needed to mail off some documents TODAY.

Headed to the library to make copies then made a mad dash to the post office. Thanks to the exorbitant temperatures there was only one person in line when I arrived. Had time to fill out a return receipt request, chat with the lady postal employee all the while not having another person come in during that interval.

Drove back to the library as Wednesday is the day they publish the Police Blotter in the local newspaper. Why am I not surprised that the son of the nosy neighbor (the guy who has beautiful trees as he runs and grabs a garden hose whenever something is going on outside) was arrested last Friday?  This guy lives next door to the drunk neighbor.

The library was packed, I suspect many enjoying the very cold A/C such as myself, there is no way I could afford to have it this cold at home.  It was so cold I actually considered going to my car to get my jacket.

To be honest I felt the heat more yesterday than I did today perhaps because I had to run so many errands yesterday and be in the heat longer.

At least tomorrow the high is expected to reach only 85 degrees (29.4444 Celcius).

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.


Spurs Corner

We played our last regular season game this evening against the Dallas Mavericks.  I am so proud of the Spurs as well as fans for giving Dirk Nowitzki a classy, respectful and memorable send-off.

Undoubtedly a future Hall of Famer, I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
