Our weather here in Dallas yesterday was very un-August like, which was a good thing. It was cloudy all day with a shower here and there, but by late afternoon the rain became steady. The best part was the temperature...it was in the 80's most of the day, dropping like rock when the rain came. We went out for dinner and found we could actually have used a jacket. With the wet and the wind and the temp at 68 degrees, it felt great to this warm-blooded Texan.
Today it's sunny again, but the high is still expected to be only around 90, maybe less. I'm going to Whole Foods today and pick us up a couple of nice steaks, and grill them this evening and serve them up with some big 'ol baked potatoes. I'd have a hard time picking a "last meal" as there are a lot of things I love to eat, but a steak and a baked potato will always be my default fave. Mmmmm....
Here's hoping you have a great day planned, too.

No, not the end of the world. I mean the end of this @#$%& triple-digit heat wave we've had parked right over Texas for the past several months. A quick glance at our 7-day forecast shows a cool front coming through tomorrow and temps falling into the upper 90's, and staying below 100 after that . Yep, I said "cool" and "upper 90's" in the same sentence. Absurd, isn't it?
It looks like we'll have around 65+/- days over 100 degrees this year, making it the second-hottest summer since The Big Bang. It's also come to my attention that the 2011 college football season kicks off tomorrow night, too.
Is it possible....I mean....could it be that God is a college football fan like me, and He's turned down the thermostat a few degrees so we can all enjoy the game? ;)
Dinner out tonight with my daughters and a couple of the grandkids (with another "in the oven"). They all wanted Mexican food, which is fine with me, except it isn't exactly conducive to losing weight. I'll really have to watch myself. (We're trying to lose a few pounds and ramp up the exercise, getting ready to enjoy some outdoor activities this fall after being cooped up all summer.)
