July 25, 2007

What the hell…it’s late-July and we haven’t hit 100 degrees (Fahrenheit)! This is unheard of in this land-of-heat. Don’t get me wrong, I actually love the fact that we haven’t gotten above the mid-nineties so far this year, but as a native Texan, I am waiting for the other shoe to drop – will [...]
