Monday September 4th Labor Day It's not as pleasant out this morning. Radar is showing some rain around... Mostly across Galveston Bay and into Western Louisiana.

2023 Day 236
Thursday August 24th It's just another hot and humid morning in SE Texas... Without a drop of rain in the forecast. I was sitting around today when I noticed the second airplane buzzing by over the house... And for some reason that triggered a memory from my childhood. We lived…

2023 Day 234
Tuesday August 22nd When I woke up this morning I did what I always do and glanced at my phone... This morning I was gob smacked by the temperature I saw at 5:15am. Once I was up I double checked everywhere.. and sadly all sources agreed.. The overnight low made…
2023 Day 233
Monday August 21st The only difference between this morning and every other morning since school started is the addition of clouds to the sky. Which means there's additional color in the sunrise. But trust me when I say it's hot as hell here this month. It seems like every afternoon…

Monday August 14th It's another warm and humid morning on the porches. At least the fan provides a bit of wind chill as I sit on the front porch watching for the buses. But all in all, there isn't much chill in the air in my neck of the woods...…
2023 Day 225
Sunday August 13th It doesn't feel quite as bad this morning on the front porch. The stats say it shouldn't be much different from yesterday.. but I didn't see an excessive heat warning on my phone when I woke up which is something.. I'm back out playing sidewalk supervisor as…
2023 Day 224
Saturday August 12th The day started off and warm and has only gotten warmer since... I'm spending my day playing sidewalk supervisor to the crew that is cleaning up the fallen limbs in my front yard. It's a massive amount of trees on the ground... Maybe I shouldn't say trees,…

Sunday August 6th This is an ice water muse. It's mid-afternoon and it's too hot for coffee... Though looking at the humidity and of the dew point, you would almost think it would be comfortable if only the temperature wasn't 100°... Well I'm staying cool in the house... How about…

Thursday August 3rd It should be no surprise to anyone reading this blog that I am a bleeding heart liberal. And as such, I find today to be quite disconcerting. The very fact that this country has reached a place in its history or a large minority of its citizens…
