Stormy Weather

The oppressive Texas heat has found us in Michigan. The "official" temperature reached 98 degrees today at Metro Airport. It climbed to 100 degrees at nearby Willow Run Airport. I checked the Houston temps from this afternoon, and, naturally, they recorded a high of 100. It would have been rare for Detroit to top Houston. Everything is bigger in Texas.

I filled in for Eric tonight at Amico's and it was pretty hot in there. I was unbelievably sweaty & sticky until a wind storm whizzed through around 8 p.m. and the temperature dropped about 20 degrees. Jacob was at Richie's house at the time and they had quite a thunderstorm that produced hail over an inch in diameter. The storm knocked out electricity at Pattye's apartment, as well as at 100,000 other residences in the area. Fortunately, the upcoming week looks as if it will be much more tranquil. And cooler - if you consider the mid 80s to be cool. Sounds good to me.
