  1. Yea I saw earlier today the ECMWF had 850 temps to around 28C for Thursday... that would put us well over 100F... it's going to be HOT HOT HOT! Any break in the heat won't come until AT LEAST next weekend / early NEXT week... we shall see. I spoke with my family up in the Northeast again today and they are miserable... nothing but cold and rainy weather up there... we are getting the opposite!
  2. LOL... too funny... President Obama seemed to really like it too when he saw it.
  3. There were definitely a good number of clouds early afternoon when I woke up (not lazy, worked night shift overnight)... they seemed to dissipate a great deal by late afternoon.
  4. It didn't.... went into Galveston Bay and pretty much dissipated. On a side note, some of the forecast models are hinting at maybe a break in the heat wave finally... maybe towards next weekend... may get us back to at least "normal" temperatures... we will see.
  5. I just moved back to my condo in the med center so that's the Target I go to... it's definitely a mix of everyone and a great Target.
  6. We got ours from Kroger... ... it is a very neat "effect" . Be careful, though, it's very cold and can "burn" your skin... use tongs when handling it and if you do touch it don't hold it for very long... just a second or two.
  7. Seriously... my pool is warm, too... it's going to be like a hot tub by August! ha ha Good idea about the ice!! I was actually at the pool with a friend of mine about a week ago and my boyfriend showed up with drinks for us... and instead of ice he put dry ice in them... so we were putting the dry ice in the pool and it was all smokin' and stuff... was really neat! We made a lot of friends at the pool that day.
  8. Seems like several things are going to open in July... at least that's what the website says... including Pete's Dueling Piano Bar... that's one I am looking forward too.
  9. We could be around 100F next week... Tuesday and Wednesday looking the hottest right now... heat index values could approach 110F... still no relief in site... so glad I just moved from the Heights back to my condo in the Med Center where I have a pool again!!! HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!!!
  10. I agree... although I do love 1000 Main... one of my favorite Downtown buildings.
  11. Tan!! As for ozone... I don't really do a lot of work with regard to ozone and air quality forecasts... but I am sure the nice afternoon breezes we have been having is helping keep the air a bit cleaner than one would suspect with such hot and dry weather. We will continue to get some nice 10-20 mph winds off of the Gulf each afternoon over at least the next few days.
  12. Get used to it... the weather pattern we are in isn't going anywhere at least in the next week... only good thing about this is that it's been great pool / tanning weather... I am really getting some good color!!!
  13. I think Target is a better store... it's more appealing to walk through... it has better quality products and is kept more clean than Wal-Mart... it has far less the number of undisciplined, screaming kids running around jumping on everything b/c their parents don't know how to raise them than Wal-Mart does... the lighting doesn't give me a headache... I go there at night and don't feel like I am going to get mugged... all in all it's just a more pleasant shopping experience.
  14. On social issues such as civil rights and stuff like that, urban areas are more liberal b/c urban areas are more diverse. This allows people to be exposed to different cultures, lifestyles, ethnicities, etc. People in rural areas are generally more sheltered, close-minded, etc.
  15. I drive to work since I work out near the beltway but live along the light rail line and sometimes take that into the museum district or Downtown to do stuff.
  16. OMG what the fudge is with those lights!! That's one of the worst things about Wal-Mart in my opinion.
