Volume 13 - Day 159/206, 2021 - Tuesday

Well, the rain was supposed to be out of the forecast, which would also mean that the rain pics accompanying these entries would be over, but it was just not true. So, with a little bit of luck, this will be the last rain pic for at least a couple weeks. We don't want to go too long with no rain, but we are well fixed for rain in central Texas at this red-hot minute. The rain gave out by about 9:30 this morning, and now it is just steamy hot. Steamy hot means the humidity is intolerable. It hit the mid 90s today, and overnight we are supposed to tie a record for the hottest low temperature on record for this date. Mid to upper 90s tomorrow, but a cooling trend towards the weekend. I hope my incessant weather reports aren't too disquieting, I will try to come up with more interesting topics going forward. I have the television on right now, waiting for Finding your roots, and there was a commercial talking about some drug that is supposed to cure some condition, and they were listing off all the possible side-effects of the drug. I think it would be interesting if one of the listed side-effects was to cure the condition the patient was taking the drug for. That would be worth something. They could just throw it in there, and see if anybody was really paying attention. I am especially concerned when they disclaim that you should not take the drug if you are allergic to it, but how will you know if you are allergic to it if you don't take it at least once. Do you guys worry about stuff like this? Okay, time to change the channel.
