Pleasant..but it won't last

With band camp inching ever so close to being here, I've decided it is time to get out of the A/C and out in the heat, so that I'm used to it and not complaining as much as the kids. The problem with that, though, is that this morning I walked out to a windy and rainy day. What was more remarkable, though, is the fact that the temperature was downright pleasant! When was the last time you could say pleasant and July in the same sentence?

This is south Louisiana in the dead of summer. By all accounts I should nearly pass out from heat exhaustion as soon as I walk out the door. For all the heat wave accounts that I've been hearing the past couple of weeks, it really hasn't been that much different than normal down here *knock on wood*

Back to the pleasantness, though...am I wrong in wishing this is a sign that we'll actually have seasons again, rather than the week of winter we had? I believe altogether, we had maybe 6 days of winter type weather, a couple of those occurred in the spring, on top of that!

I guess I should just enjoy it while its around. Thank goodness for that cold front that came through, because I'm sure that by this time next week, things will be back to sweltering.

Thanks for reading!

Weather channel stupidity

Apparently, we are set for some bad weather down this way...or at least some heavy rain. With a football game tomorrow night, I was keeping my eye on the Weather Channel to see what the weather would be doing.

Much to my surprise, they were handing out nuggets of knowledge, courtesy of Jim Cantore. For instance, did you know that a drought in Texas is what's keeping them dry. Did you know that?

Oh, and how about this one...New Orleans is under sea level (common knowledge for those of us that live in La, and the south for that matter), but did you know that a few years back there were a couple of hurricanes that nearly destroyed the entire city? That's news to me...lol

These are just a couple of things he mentioned. Ugh! Sometimes I wonder how stupid these people think we are.
