It’s Been Over 101F …

... for everyday last week, and this week, and should be the same for the next ten days, at least.

It was the same for almost everyday in July, too. In my 60+ years in Texas, I don’t remember a summer this brutally hot.

About an hour ago I noticed it was down to 89, and I thought it was oddly cool. It’s usually still over 90 at that hour. It never gets below the low 80’s, so we’re waiting for the days the temps drop into the 70’s at night.

And we probably won’t see that, or get any rain, until September. If then.

Buoys and saw blades are doing nothing for the border, any more than Congress is.  We regularly face threatened brownouts from this weather. It’s ridiculous not to deal with this.

What we don’t need is Congress talking endlessly, and uselessly, about either problem. Action would be better. Or just go back into recess, if you can’t do anything.
