Sigh...October 9th and my a/c is STILL on.

[GOPisEvil]

We're promised cooler temperatures later in the week, or so "they" say.

[Skittles]

1. I think our two week fall starts on Thursday, David

yes INDEED

[GOPisEvil]

3. Of course we'll have to see people wearing coats when it's 65.

[Skittles]

26. my favorite

every year in the newspaper "WINTRY BLAST HITS TEXAS" - and it's, oh, 45 degrees. I send it to my brothers in the Chicago area and they post it at work; it gets a LOT of laughs.

[GOPisEvil]

28. OH MY GOD - FREEZE WARNING!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!!!

A DROP OF SLEET MIGHT FALL!!!!! LET'S SHUT THE CITY DOWN!!!!! IT'S ARMAGEDDON!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, there's a bit of hyperbole.

[Skittles]

31. I will never forget

I guess it was 1981, was working nights, got a call from work waking me up saying I needed to go to a hotel near work because one quarter inch of ice was projected - I yelled I'M FROM F***ING ILLINOIS and slammed down the phone.

[GOPisEvil]

32. Hahahaha!

Well, I've never driven on ice and snow, so it's probably a good thing that I stay home.

[Skittles]

39. well they would insist

but I tell you, staying at the Driskell not a bad thing.....I would watch all the car accidents from the window - YEE HAW!!!!

[GOPisEvil]

41. Oh, staying at the Driskill for free. Life should suck so much...

I did drive on the ice once. In college. I kept things nice and slow, but I saw a Jeep go spinning 360s around me and into a telephone pole.

[Skittles]

56. so I was walking to the Driskell when I got off work at 0700

there was snow on the ground and right outside the hotel there was a bird on his back, flapping his wings, making little snow angels - I figured he was dying so I picked him up and said well, if you're going to die you can die in the Driskell. So I fed him some hamburger from the night before and left him on a sweater on a chair. Later when the day shift guy came over, I said watch out, there's a bird over there. He looked and said THAT'S NOT A BIRD, THAT'S A HAWK! His girlfriend worked at the Nature Center so he took it there - they said it was a male sparrowhawk who had probably gotten disoriented in the snowstorm, smacked into the building and got a concussion....the hawk stayed at the Nature Center for a week and then they let him go.

2. *sigh*

We're s'posed to get snow tonight and I turned the furnace on earlier today.

Wanna trade?

[GOPisEvil]

7. I just want "no artificial comfort" weather.

I don't want the heater OR the a/c running.

[reyd reid reed]

9. We get that for a little while in the spring and again in the fall.

I've got a feeling the fall part is over with.

[GOPisEvil]

10. I shouldn't complain..."winter" is nice here.

But, dammit, it's October and I'm tired of hearing the damn a/c coming on repeatedly.

[Ptah]

4. What I'd like to know, is how does weather follow state boundaries.

[GOPisEvil]

6. Wow. Weather is smart!

[MissMillie]

5. I hear ya

I ran a race today, thinking October would be a good cool day to run 10K.


It was 80 degrees in Boston today.

[GOPisEvil]

8. 80 in Boston? Now that's just wrong.

[lizziegrace]

11. It's laundry

Ya gotta turn that dryer off sometime.

I remember Texas too well. There's a reason most houses in most neighborhoods have pools. Too damn hot.

At least the beer's cold.

[GOPisEvil]

12. Hehehe!

I wish I had a pool. That would be nice. Refreshing.

Ooooh....I *do* have some beer in the 'fridge.

[lizziegrace]

14. Pour me one?

[GOPisEvil]

16. You got it!

Mexican? Or Italian?

I have Dos Equis and Peroni.

[lizziegrace]

17. Haven't had Italian

[GOPisEvil]

18. Peroni really helps the pasta and Italian sausage go down!

I wish I had some Cristal from Peru. That's good stuff when it's warm.

[lizziegrace]

21. I make terrific spaghetti sauce

with hot italian sausage. Care to share a plate?

[GOPisEvil]

22. Yum!!

Bring it on! I'll bring the Peronis!

[lizziegrace]

23. Good food

one way to my heart.

[GOPisEvil]

24. The way to a man's heart...

...

[lizziegrace]

27. The only way?

[GOPisEvil]

30. There's always more than one way...

...for example helping me with the laundry...

[lizziegrace]

33. Oh look

that shirt has a tomato sauce stain on it.

Into the laundry.

[GOPisEvil]

34. I'm such a mess...

[lizziegrace]

35. Yes, but the food and beer was so good

The laundry? It could take hours.

[GOPisEvil]

36. Good food should be a little messy...

...as should other things...

[lizziegrace]

40. I don't think the A/C is working

it's a little warm in here.

[GOPisEvil]

42. Perhaps...

...well...



uh...


...lack of clothing helps...

[lizziegrace]

43. It you're wearing it

we can't launder it.

[GOPisEvil]

44. ...

[lizziegrace]

46. Beer?

You said it was warm it Texas.

[GOPisEvil]

48. The a/c just came on again.

[lizziegrace]

49. Just in time!

[GOPisEvil]

50. Oh, it'll be coming on all night..

...lucky for me!

[lizziegrace]

51. I hope so.

[GOPisEvil]

52. You and me both!

OK, I'm outta here for the night. See you soon!

[lizziegrace]

54. Night!

[Crewleader]

13. Hello friend

just turn mine off last night....slept with the windows open at 63' and the humidity was low, so the air was dry and comfortable. The electric bills this summer were very steep...as it was for everyone.

Hang in there my friend....cooler weather is not far off...it's been a very long hot summer and I too look forward to a cool down for some time.

[GOPisEvil]

15. Crew!!

I'm ready for those cooler temperatures and snuggling up under a blanket like a giant burrito.

I'm ready for those lower utility bills though.

[texas1928]

[Dangerously Amused]

Though it doesn't kick on all that often anymore...
