Out gas is only $5.98/ gallon and the temp is supposed to hit 34* C today. It would be a great day to WALK to the beach and bake.

No doubt, way too many people here. But some of them are my customers so I guess I can't complain too loudly. It will be nice to retire to somewhere where it isn't so crowded and maybe a little cooler. Not sure that I am ready for Alaska though...

Yesterday's temp was 105 and gas at $3.15 here in Copperas Cove, Tx.
Hope the temp goes down some. Hope everyone in Florida is okay.

I thought I'd just put this on here to remind us all about the heat our troops are putting up with in full BDU's everyday. It kind of brings things into perspective for us.

It was supposed to have a picture here??? It was showing a cartoon of a soldier lookin at a laptop that said you won't believe how hot it is in the U.S today and he was standing there with all his full uniform on and a backpack too. It wouldn't let me post it?? Oh well.

Yes, you are so right! I had a friend that was in Iraq where it routinely got to 140 plus! Wearing all that gear and in harms way. Perspective is sobering and really makes me feel like a whiner.

Imperial gallon. I'm paying a $1.33/ liter at a card lock which is discounted, the in town price is $1.39.9/liter at the pump for 87 octane.
Driving to work is getting to be fairly expensive , 100 miles round trip

The forecast is calling for 104* here tomorrow. Looking at a possible record. Dry as a bone, too. Haven't needed to bother mowing the grass in a month. A nice, soaking rain and low 80's temps would be a welcome relief to the crops. Gas has slowly ticked down to $3.36 here at some stations. Others are still sticking it to us at $3.49.

Thanks Sam, I'd be better sticking to sewing machines and welding.
