76F, 10 mph winds.  Ran from the hotel in San Antonio.  8:10 AP this morning.  I think it's starting to get a little easier.  Maybe being outside all day yesterday helped.  We got to Sea World before it opened and left when it closed, 7+ hours, and the kids had no major tantrums and minimal whining -- pretty amazing.  It just keeps getting a little easier each year.  Sure enough, the car was indicating 100F on the nose as we left.

Oh yeah, and normally I think central TX is only a few degrees warmer than Abilene.  This morning Abilene was in the mid-50s.  Just twist that knife in my back, Abilene.  We're back in Abilene now, and we should beat our record high for the day tomorrow.  Record is 103, high is forecasted at 106.

I don't understand how that could happen.

It gets hot in Texas?

Holy crap! Those temps are crazy hot. This morning we had snow just south of us. It got to 51 degree today in Idaho Falls. Nice run.
