  • We have had the best spring since 2007. The temperatures have been very mild (highs in 70s-low 80s) and lows in the high 50s-60s. It's unfortunate that I can't yet run in the great weather .
    "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

        Texas is Texas.

          I was just wondering, because I only found out just this week that the "Lee" in my son's Lee Elementary refers to General Robert E.

          I don't know who I thought Lee was, but that never in a million years would have occurred to me.

          • I don't know how my other Carolina Cuffers are doing, but today is a stay inside day.

            I've also been watching the weather a lot lately (my son's new fascination), and the people in Texas and Oklahoma surely have angered whatever God rules over those lands. The weather just looks brutal out there.

              I am starting to think it is the same god that rules over the warmer parts of the afterlife and he is just giving us a taste. We are on track to have a warmer than average summer. We'll be heading to the pool this afternoon.

                OKC hit 108 yesterday - a record high. We had that kind of heat for a week after I moved here last year, and it was just unspeakably awful. I don't know how often they get it in Texas, but it's certainly not the norm in central OK.

                  Interesting... The highs in OKC for the next 10 days are forecasted to be higher than Dallas. The god that rules over warmer places must like OKC better.

                  • I know of 4 familes in my ward that have abandoned Texas for the remainder of the Summer. Wife just loaded up the kids in the SUV/Minivan and headed west leaving the husband to stay and work in the heat.

                    My litmus test for summer heat brutality is when my folks call each summer and try to coax us in to visiting them in St. George so they can see their Texas grandkids. My standard reply is: "Why would I want to go to one of the few places where it's hotter than Texas?" Only problem was this year when they called, St. George had lower temperatures.

                      Or he finally got bored of the Lone Star State. Lord knows he was parked here all last month.

                      • It is 92 degrees in Las Vegas (feels like 90). I don't know what ya'll are bitchin' about.

                        • I haven't notice Houston being any worse than normal. But we are typically cooler than you inlanders.

                            Austin and Dallas have already had more 100+ degree days than they had all of last year. Those of you coming for the UT game may want to book a stay in a Frigidaire.

                                Same here. It needs it but not when the weather report says "will feel like 110."
                                I have nothing else to say at this time.
