Reply #23: It's really not all that bad. It's just pretty bad right now. August.

However, starting later next month, the weather will moderate and it is quite pleasant. I'll sit on my back patio and listen to the fish jumping in the pond and light the chiminea in the evening to keep warm and for the ambiance of a flickering fire of pinon wood.

This hot humid summer weather is a trade-off for the rest of the year. We don't ever have to shovel show. I did that in Nebraska and Wisconsin. No more for me. Frequently on Christmas or New Years I BBQ outside and don't freeze my buns off.

But for the Chimp to CHOOSE to vacation on a hot and humid Texas prairie in the middle of August is just crazy. (Like he is.)
