We did It....Finally after suffering through endless heat, wildfires that are another topic altogether and fried landscape all over the state of Texas that may never look the same...we set a record. It took us until almost the middle of September and a temperature that would cook the proverbial egg but we made it. We not only tied the hottest summer ever, we passed the hottest summer ever by a day.
This is not necessarily a record you strive to conquer but it was really painful to fail before you reach your mark. If you are headed that way anyway, don't stop short.
We are finally enjoying reasonable, seasonal temperatures. I am not officially calling it fall. We still have a way to go but somewhere in the 90's is surely an attitude changer. Just being able to check the mail without having to shower afterward is a HUGE plus. So now I can move on to other topics. I do want to note though for all future readers that the record was set and 2011 is officially the year we fried.

As and added postscript...the day after I posted this we once again hit 101 degrees on September 29th. Yes, yet another record high temperature for that day. We are slashing the pages of the record books by the minute. NOW, I hope we are finished. I am ready to move on. Come on fall. It is time for you to check in!!
