CW - think insulation?  Dust particles?  Clean up? 

Tree - saw my first and only tornado in OK.  Also tarantulas in our yard.  And a cotton gin mill.  And a scorpion.  And red dirt.  And cotton in the field.  Nebraska and snow sounding much better right now. 

We are 17 and 81% humidity and Houston is 34 and 83% humdity.  Western OK - 24 and 86% - see we are in the south and never moved a bit!

Out to watch BNSF earn a living this pm.  They did very nicely yesterday - coal and freight both; sometimes at the same time on 4 tracks!  (Trying to compete with Joe!)

It's warmed up quite a bit since 1 AM - now up to 7.7F.  Another three tenths of a degree and we'll be as "warm" as 'Mutt and CW.

It's snowing now...

Class at noon (EMS) and back to the Antique Auction tonight.

Good Morning Everyone.

Its 32 in Alamo City, and I've got the heat cranked up in the house...More frost covers the cars.

My wife and I are going to a Spurs basketball game this afternoon.  Its supposed to be on ABC, so if you have the TV on, we'll wave...  Cool

Enjoy your Sunday!

A regular heat wave here at 14 and sun.  Only a little wind and the humidity is around 59 percent so it's not bad outside. 

This week I have to start recertifying Lifeguards for the summer season as an instructor for the ARC.  Been busy teaching CPR too...it's one of those skills that I think everyone should really have and keep current.  You never know when you'll need it.

One of my clients did well the other day.  I know she didn't win the pageant but Miss Wisconsin did pretty well I thought...Smile,Wink, & Grin 

Big news of the day...24 hours from now I find out whether I get the job of Aquatics Director at the 20th Ave YMCA in Oshkosh.  Excited and nervous to say the least, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

Back later!

Good luck, Dan.  I'll keep you covered both ways here- fingers crossed and prayers offered.

We've had a beautiful Winter day here.....11 degrees this morning and now a heat wave.....28 plus degrees right now.

Beautiful sunshine {still shining}, and clear blue skies.  Yes, tomorrow we too will be in the 30's.....and more like upper teens or low 20's for our lows this coming week.  Expect a dry week, at least to Thrusday.  Sunset for today is about 6 pm.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Well, we had a semi decent day today, after the 7-8 degree start of the morning, temps made it into the 30s this afternoon. (think the news said 33 for the high, outdoor thermometer here showed 37.) With the temps getting warmer this next week, we could have some flooding on the Ohio; the city has already put in a couple of flood gates, and is closely monitoring the situation. One place we go for railfanning might be off limits for awhile if the river gets up too high.

Mook, know what you mean, I've been having to do some extra "Clear My Throat" the last couple of days, no actual loss of voice though. (to a couple of others chagrin!)
