The weather here in Michigan has been downright wacky lately. Our typical high this time of year is in the upper 70s. On Friday I was at Norm's pizzeria and - holy moly - I cannot remember ever feeling so hot. The temperature outside had risen to 99 degrees and the combination of heat, humidity, and 550 degree pizza ovens opening & shutting caused me to sweat more than I ever had before. I was not a pleasant sight.
It cooled off considerably over the weekend, and on Monday the high temps had dropped 30 degrees from Friday's oppressiveness. Yesterday and today, as Jacob walked to the high school bus stop at 6:10 a.m. (Eeew, too early!), it was in the low 50s. Today's high was only 64.
The weather in Texas has cooled off somewhat, too. Well, at least they are having normal highs of 91 or so instead of highs in the 100s. The horrible drought continues there, though, and the forecast does not call for any rain in the near future. The tropical storms this year seem to make landfall to the east and to the southwest of Houston, but never close enough to drop any precipitation at our house. Some of the numerous Texas wildfires have reached the county that neighbors ours and, in my opinion, that is a bit too close for comfort. It is weird that so much of the country is deluged with floodwater, yet the Lone Star State is dry as a bone. What's up with that, anyway?
