Welcome back!

Yes, I am alive.

I am also basically sane. I have not been chased by the cops lately. I have also not run anyone over either.

So, even though it is HOT outside, the money in the bank is getting very short, the politicians have been irritating as usual - I am happy.

Things could be much worse, I do NOT want those things to get worse. So, I figure that I could at least be happy for what I do happen to have.

No, I am not teasing, I am serious. Happy, but serious.

I live in Texas.

We are in the middle of a HEAT WAVE. Tomorrow we are supposed to break a record in the number of days straight, over a hundred.

I would not be sad if that did not happen. I am ready for Fall, Winter, Spring.

I know that summer has it’s reason for being, I am still ready for those other seasons.:)

That is a good question. We have already celebrated the New Year. We have celebrated Valentine’s day.

The Happy Easter store already sent out its many varied types of gifts.

It is hot outside, chocolate melts in the heat, eggs could fry on the sidewalk with the right sort of weather. What holiday is next?

I hope that is it something that involves air conditioning.

Oh yeah, it rained today. The sun was shining, it was down pouring, yet it was raining. A man walking by was soaking wet, but he was smiling and cheerful, after all, it was raining.

We need rain in Texas.

I repeat, we NEED RAIN. The grass sounds and feels as if we are walking on potato chips. The man in charge of maintenance at our apartments is concerned that some smoker will throw their cigarette onto this grass and burn down the apartments.

We really need some good rain.

Summer is around the corner.

If you are thinking about going camping and you have an RV, you also need to think about getting rv insurance.

Not only do you need to think about insurance, but you should also think about the last time that you used your RV.

Did you clean it out? Did you leave some things in it and forget they were there. Now is the time to think about these things before the days comes and you find the old veggies that have now been turned into penicillin cultures just waiting to be found.

I guess that the weather man has begun a new song.

Do you remember the song ‘Let It Snow’? It is apparently doing just that across many southern states that are not used to the big freeze that can come with wet, squishy, melting, frozen stuff. I have a feeling the word overshoes has gotten new meaning.

Here is Texas, snow is a rare critter. We have sometimes had ice, but no big snows. Where I grew up in St. Louis, Mo., we even had special snow routes laid out and mapped so that people going to work knew which roads could be traveled. Sometimes I do miss snow, but I do not miss going to school in the snow.

I mentioned the change in the season by mentioning the sports events that will show up on TV, if it hasn’t already changed your TV program list.

One of the things that happens when the seasons change, is the change in the temperature of your home. Food changes with the up and coming holidays, so why not the window coverings?

Thicker curtains to keep out the cold, VeloBind, shades or other things to control just how much light is let in. If the world outside your home is changing, the TV programming changing, why shouldn’t your windows change to match what is going on outside?

It has come to that time of the year again.

I call it sunning time. Since the weather is not as hot as it had been for a while, the cats like to get on the window sill and sun them selves.

Since one of them is mostly white, she shows up rather nicely when she does this. Of course when we leave the front curtains open, she choses to do this while on the back of the couch.

She does make a rather ‘glowing’ couch ornament.

Isn’t August supposed to be in the fall, or nearly there?

I can’t tell it by this heat that we have going here in Texas. When fall comes, the leaves start to change, people start to shop for things they will need in the winter, snow boots, winter coats, yata, yata, yata. Well, I guess that it is not yet fall. If someone walked into a store and asked about any of those things the sales people would think they were totally nuts.

The weather people refused to say that it is going to have a slight cool spell, because the temperature will only drop from 100 to 99. That’s a drop? Who are they trying to kid?

That is what we’ve been having lately. I heard that even over in Russia, there is heat. They have also been having forest fires.

I am more than ready for some cooler weather. I mean that guys do not want to wear mens ties, suits, and other stuff when it is so hot that the grass crackles. I do not like to hear the sound of potato chips when I walk across the grass.

The sooner that fall comes, the happier that I will be. I am not a summer person and all of this heat is getting to me.
