Tuesday June 20th
I had to get up and get gone early this morning. It was my annual pilgrimage to fulfill the bureaucratic requirements of the school district. For some reason I am required each year to affirm in front of a notary public that the residents that I have lived at and that my daughter has lived at for 30 plus years is also the home of my grandchildren since they were born. Each year I am required to do this before they can start school. And this year our beloved school district has decided to move the offices that handle this to the next town north on Highway 6. So what used to be a pain in the blank and take a 5-minute drive to handle is now 30 minutes down the road. And that’s driving most of the way at 60 mph.
You would think that with all the money I have paid in school taxes over the last 30 years that I would get an expedited affidavit process… But no, it just gets worse each year.
But anyway, it’s still hot, it’s still humid, there’s still a excessive heat warning in effect… So what more can I say?
Houston turned up the heat to extreme levels this past weekend, and we’ve got one more day of highs near 100 degrees with humidity pushing the heat index above 110 degrees. After that temperatures will back off slightly for a few days. Unfortunately it now appears likely that this hotter-than-normal pattern will persist through the remainder of June. And after June comes July and August, which is really pleasant to contemplate, you know?
Other than… Check out that dew point.. 80°.
Now I get to wait for an appliance repairman to show up and check out our dishwasher… And now that’s not me.
So y’all stay cool, and I’ll do my best to do the same. I’ll catch y’all on the other side.
