Was still 110F at 6:00 PM when I played my Wed. night mini-tournament last night, it was still 106F when I was driving home at 9:00 PM. Same deal Tuesday night when it was 109F at 6:00 PM and I was playing at a different course. I consider it a free sauna-session. I don't see why people pay good money to go to the beach when I get the same conditions or worse for free :p

Pavement temp is 142F, highway dept was spraying water on a new section of highway to keep it from buckling due to the heat. I've had to adjust the bi-level temperature setting on my truck to blow more cold air into the footwells to counter the heat radiating up from the pavement.

Yard is showing large cracks in the ground. Birds are scarce, they're hanging out at the ponds/stock tanks.

Tree's are shedding leaves like it's October.

It might go down to 101F by the end of this week.

So, how you doin'??

one owl! bathing itself in the middle of the day

That is peculiar. The only time I've seen owls in daylight was in Dec/Jan deep in the woods when daylight is short.

Returning from shopping were two fawns, still w/spots, drinking from a water pot set out for whatever needs it.

Screw the city council.

I don't want anything to die of dehydration.

This drought is going to affect deer bag limits in two or three years and there won't be any antlerless MLD or LAMPS permits given out.

A doe's walking across the lawn, headed for water.

The eastern deer that were brought to Lake Tawakoni almost fifty years ago, have finally spread into Fannin county, and they are some beauties; nothing like these tiny Hill Country deer.

Of course the feral hogs are running wild there also.
