Heat warning today. They're claiming upwards of a 120° heat index. It's 75° out here now, already feels like I walked into a sauna.

Should be fun. Thank God for swimming pools.

Ugh, hopefully they will ignore you.  Of course this is all Trumps fault, he stopped the science to detect them, which is why they were detected in Mexico 1st and not stopped by an imaginary line on a map.

Yes we did.  I think Corpus Christi was a few weeks away from water rationing before all this started.  We ain't in a drought no more!

Another half inch last night, but it's starting to ease off.  If the sun comes out it's going to get really toasty...

Heh, if I could figure a way, I would!

I have yet to mow anything aside from a couple edges around buildings and where stuff sat and protected it.  I may have to  in a week or so.

 The upside is hardly any flies or mosquitoes.

My hosts postponed their trip to Port Aransas till Monday because of all this tropical stuff.

The mosquito element has finally shown up: One whole bug. I'm sure they'll multiply, but Ah ain't skeert...

Did I say rain?  The Wally World Calibrated Rain Guage overflowed at 5 1/2 inches yesterday afternoon, and now we're under a flood warning until Thursday and a tropical storm warning until tomorrow.  Come on down and grab some of this while you can, Honcho!

Jaime, im going to bring you some props...

I have a ground squirrel problem here in my front yardlette. Got some Tomcat poison. Time to feed the little bastiges.

It's raining like the proverbial cow pissing on the flat rock here right now.  Started early this morning and is coming in waves.  79 degrees and really wet!   

We got an inch overnight, 3-5 forecast. Supposed to get more today/tomorrow, we'll see...
