Weeks ago I decided the 100 degree HEAT had rendered rolling my bike wheels in my mostly unshaded neighborhood no longer feasible.
Today, what with the month early arrival of fall temperatures, I took my handlebars on a tour of the neighborhood.
There is still a lot of green on the Woodhaven Country Club golfing greens, but there is also a lot which has been rendered brown by those vexing 100 degree plus days.
Above the aforementioned handlebars are looking north on the Cholla Circle cul-de-sac one finds on Cholla Lane.
I only saw one golfer today. The golfers must not have gotten the news that COOL has returned to North Texas.
I am afraid the early preview of fall may be receding into history even as I sit here typing. When I went biking around noon the temperature was barely 80. Currently the temperature is only nine degrees short of 100.
My windows are once again closed. And the A/C is doing its cooling duty.
The natural cool was cool while it lasted....
