Not Too Bad

 The heat wave we have suffered through for the past couple of weeks seems to have moderated.   This morning, the temp is only in the mid 70s and the high today in only supposed to be in the low 90s.

We still have the rest of July, then August and September to live through before it will be gumbo weather, or until I feel compelled to make a pot of chili.  Summer ain't over by any means, but this morning it isn't too bad. The humidity is still at 90%, but that is fairly common in Louisiana.  

At the barber shop yesterday, the talk was all about the weather. Over the past few days we have had plenty of small, pop up thunderstorms that randomly traverse the area.  For example, this weekend, we had a locally severe thunderstorm that dropped about 2 inches of rain on my acre.  Down the road a mile to the east, they got less than one-tenth of an inch.  Last night, it drizzled here for an hour, but someone down the road got their full quota.  That is the way the weather goes this time of year.
