cold front... Posted by John Wells at 5:40 PM Labels: cooler

Yep, Sam, you always seem to be so in tune. I was getting so overwhelmed with the 102 heat outside today.

August 10, 2015 at 6:59 PM 
Yet when I was 18, I could iron inside with no air conditioning or fan and closed windows and not perspire and think nothing of it.

August 10, 2015 at 7:01 PM 
Oh, it was 107 degrees then in San Angelo, TX, during a record breaking heat wave in the 1950's.

August 10, 2015 at 7:06 PM 
Now there is a slight breeze outside and it is very pleasant to sit outside-going down to 70 plus.

August 10, 2015 at 8:16 PM 
Hope you're not in shock, Sam.

Us Michiganders aren't used to such big numbers ... unless we're measuring inches of snow.
 
weather in Marquette, MI

Scattered Thunderstorms
Scattered Showers

average winter temp - 12-15 deg.. average snowfall 150 inches

August 10, 2015 at 9:39 PM 
Ok ... so Texas wins the BTU count, but with an average snowfall of 150 inches clearly Michigan is flaky-er.

Michi-ganders -- It sounds like some kind of male goose.

August 11, 2015 at 8:05 AM 
Some Michi-ganders are snowbirds.

August 11, 2015 at 8:33 AM 
Cute, Sam. :-)

August 11, 2015 at 9:05 AM 
Yes, we have spotted Michiganders flocking here to Texas around October/November. They are pretty rare right now with all this heat. I would imagine John never sees them around Alpine.

August 11, 2015 at 9:43 AM 
The constantly blinking left turn signal makes them easy to spot.

August 11, 2015 at 9:56 AM 
Of course, one could also ask how in the world does ANY place in Texas get named - "Alpine"!

August 11, 2015 at 10:17 AM 
Good point Larry!

August 11, 2015 at 11:47 AM 
Ha, ha-yes ,going around the world to the left. Seriously,
they are all over the Chihiahuan area. That's when all the young people come back and open up their shops and pretend they are from there. I know, because time and again, I parked my car at the end of Sept. and went to a shop and it was locked. Wusses wern't back yet. Also, o reading material there except paperback old westerns at the P.O. There was AA.

I heard at the pool that La Jihtas that has the drunk goat as a mayor puts in a new golf hole when they get some money and now they are up to hole 11.

Ben always seems to enjoy a bit of fairway time at Black Jack's Crossing… but he often leaves a few divots…
