One Hundred and Seven
By Justin
107, that was the high temperature yesterday.We set a new daily high temperature and an new overnight low high temperature as well.If this keeps up I am moving to Phoenix with Dan and Margo, at least they know to expect it.
I know it is August in Texas, but still, 107?I am sure this has to do with the ice cap breaking in Canada or Gore’s book, but it is still extremely H-O-T.Today the high is to be 106 before a tropical depression slams poor Louisiana and we drop to 97.Hold on for that cold snap.
To beat the heat, Holly, Eli and I will be headed to the mountains of Northern New Mexico for a week on Friday.The high temperature there yesterday was 75.I’ll take it.
We were visiting one summer a few years ago and it was over 110 for the whole week we were around. My suggestion - you should move to Chicago! I'll admit that this summer is milder than any I've lived through here, but we've only had the AC on for 32 1/2 hours this year.
hi justin/holly. sorry about the heat. i understand all that. we just returned from another fabulous trip to chi-town and the weather was amazing. could you send me the email of your friends that live there? i tried to leave a comment on their blog but it does not allow me to do so if i am not a google blogger. eheu! hope you had a great trip. love, heather

I looked at a map and I'm pretty sure garland is on the way to new mexico if you wanted to rescue someone else from the head ;)

Are you oing to stop at the spring in Colfax county and get your dad a bottle of water? Have fun, I'm jealous.

Have fun in the mountains!
Yes! Move to Phoenix! come to the dark side, leave Texas behind. you'll never look back :)
Hmmm...it was only in the high 70s here yesterday!
Of course, the tables will turn come January.
