Crazy, crazy weather
1) The Dallas Metroplex had the coldest May & June ever...probably had a little something to do with the fact it poured down rain every day those two months!
2) The smog has been miserable in Atlanta lately, with code reds just about every day this week. Sitting on a floor near the top of the Bank of America tower yesterday, you could hardly see the other downtown highrises because of the yellowish haze.
3) Speaking of smog, it's because of the heat. It stopped raining again, and the temperatures are hovering around 100. Atlanta has not hit 100 yet, and has not done so since Summer 2000, but the heat indexes have been in the 100-110 range, as evidenced by the heat advisory yesterday and today (and tomorrow). In fact 24 of 48 continental states are under heat advisories. That's 50% for you math majors.
4) One place that's hot is the Southern Hills Country Club, where they're playing the PGA Tournament. The forecast for the rest of the tournament calls for highs right around 100 with indexes of about 110. By the way however, if I had to move to Oklahoma, I'd definitely move to Tulsa (& NOT OKC!).
5) Again speaking of heat, we're headed to Sandestin, Florida tomorrow in Walton County...I cannot wait!!!
6) Speaking of the beach, nothing going on in hurricane land...will this year be another dud?
7) The Beijing Olympics starts 1 year from today. Today in Tiananmen Square they are having a big celebration. The Olympics start at 8:08.08 AM on Friday Atlanta time. They are exactly 12 hours ahead of us in the summer since they don't do daylight savings time.
8) The show Greek on ABC Family is REALLY cheesy, but really good. I want to go to a Mt. Vesuvius party!!!
