baked

Sunny and hot and nary a drop of rain in sight. Record-breaking heat continues, with weekend highs remaining in the 100s. I snapped the photo on the left today in my backyard. According to weather.com the actual temps (not the blistering heat indices) for the next 10 days in College Station are: 100°, 100°, 103°, 102°, 101°, 100°, 101°, 100°, 102°, 103°.

I shit you not.

My plants are dead and gone. My daily run has become torture (ok, it always sucked; but now it's diabolical). And my breathable fabrics aren't breathing. Nakedness is a good thing.

Dear God, please ... send ... relief (or a sombrero).
