i *heart* air conditioners!
This is why we’re staying inside. Totally. We once saw a report about the extremely high surface temperatures of slides and playground equipment (in Maryland) and … yeah, they should have come down here to do their report. There’s no way we’re getting anywhere near a playground today or any day this week for that matter. Note that it’s 77ºF — at 8:25 in the morning.
I love how Isolated Thunderstorms on Thursday doesn’t increase the chance of precipitation. And partly cloudy? Yeah, that’s a joke. That just means that somewhere over the Great State of Texas are a few clouds (and it ain’t here, y’all!)… Wow, I love Texas but I could sure use a week, no, maybe a whole summer of mid-70′s to mid-80′s weather where it would actually be feasible to take the kids outside during the day and not have some kind of water going to cool us all off.
Though I think we’ve got it bad, I’m just glad I don’t live in Phoenix.
ETA: (edited to add) Looks like we won’t be going anywhere today. I had planned to stop by Hobby Lobby to look for a cheap circular knitting needle. Oh well. No way I’m changing this tire with my 21 week gigantic* belly in this heat. Can’t wait for David to get home!

Also? This is our 2nd flat in a week on the same car (different wheel). I hope they don’t make us buy a new tire like a few days ago… Grrrrrrr (Oh! and if you look reeeeeeeeeally closely, that white truck also has a flat… same one… rear passenger)
*gigantic being relative here. A 36″ waist is gigantic on me. On Dave? Ideal. My brother? gigantic. See? it’s all relative
WELCOME
Hi there. Welcome to davejenbarnes.com! This is a story of a guy & a gal who fell in love, got married, and settled in the the ATX area.
