Blazing Hot

So, today is day 26  in a row of 100+ temps in North Central Texas. We have over 30 days over 100+ in total this summer.
I am a native Texan, but this is hot, even for us natives!

What does this mean?

• the grass in my yard...well, let's call it the "former grass" in my yard....is dead!
• the low - the LOW, mind you, was 86 degrees the other night. 
• my ancient van is barely able to cool the interior temps down while we are driving
• our house AC runs almost continuously from about 2pm until midnight
• Momma ain't goin' anywhere she doesn't have to!

The Monkey does not like this "don't go outside" routine we have.  He is quite unhappy.

What have we learned?

• The library, the bookstore, Target, and the movie theater all have great AC's. The church...is iffy.
• The Raceway and the QT are very conveniently placed for our errands. Frosty drinks, anyone?
• We do not leave the house without water.

We are going to try to cook an egg in our van tomorrow! Coooool!
