Why it does NO good to whine about the weather

July 15, 2006 in Wide world by Ben | 4 comments

It’s not like we can do anything about it, right?

Here’s how it is as of about a minute ago:

Currently at 10:47 AM
mostly sunny
Temperature: 84° F
RealFeel ® : 95° F

Only, it feels even hotter.  Excuse me, I need to go install a ceiling fan…

It’s HOT!

June 29, 2006 in Guest Posts by Erin-Go-Braghless! | 7 comments

HPIM1379.JPGWe’ve had a couple of cool days here in Texas. The high has been only in the 90’s, with the nights in the 70’s. We had a few 100 degree days in May, and we just got the electricity bill for May: more than $200. please take note: we live in North Texas. While we’re certainly not hurting for money, we ain’t rolling in moolah either. So our thermostat setting went from 76 degrees (I know, COLD, but we’re well-insulated folks) to 80 degrees during the day, and 78 after 9PM. I’m perspiring all day, actually thinking of having Botox treatments to stop my sweat glands! UGH! I’m taking two showers a day, but I’d take more if I didn’t have to supervise my children at every moment of the day.
Did I mention that I’d rather be cold than hot? You can always add more layers when you’re cold. When it’s hot, however, you can only peel off so many articles of clothing before being cited for public indecency. I’ve lived here since I was almost 5 years old. 26 years. You think I’d be used to it by now. NOPE!

For any of you that are freezing right now

January 24, 2006 in Wide world by Ben

Here’s some news that might warm you up:

2005 was warmest year on record: NASA: “All five of the hottest years since modern record-keeping began in the 1890s occurred within the last decade, according to analysis by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

In descending order, the years with the highest global average annual temperatures were 2005, 1998, 2002, 2003 and 2004, NASA said in a statement.”

So, hope that helps. Until, of course, the ice caps finish melting and we’re all having to swim to work…

Wacky weather people

January 4, 2006 in Wide world by Ben

Our weather people here are a little snarky, too. Dig this forecast:

Not much cold air is behind the front, and it will not bring us any rain. At least highs will be about 10 degrees cooler, taking us from ridiculously warm to just abnormally warm.

The next day? We get a light freeze. Then a couple days later the highs will be back in the mid-70’s.

My wife mowed the lawn yesterday.
