As you can see, in the picture, this morning is looking a bit stormy, as well.
The weather predictors are predicting more rain and electrical action today.
This morning when the sun came up the wind was blustering so hard it had knocked my swimming suit to ground level. I don't recollect that happening before.
Yesterday, somewhere among the many locations I was reading about the latest Texas Judge Scandal I read one comment that said something like, "God must really love stupid people, because he made so many of them. Like that judge in Texas."
Speaking of stupid people.
Yesterday when I saw that the temperature in Fort Worth and Phoenix were both 95, but with the Real Feel Temperature in Phoenix being higher than Fort Worth, despite Fort Worth's humidity being 9 times higher, I blogged about it, including the temperature at that point in time at my old home zone in Mount Vernon, Washington and the fact that humidity was even higher in Mount Vernon.
I then got the following comment from someone calling him or herself Anonymous...

If you dislike TX and the weather so much, why don't you go back to Washington? So much criticism from a tourist begins to just sound whiny.
Whiny? I would not say that I am impervious to whining, but I detected no trace of whining in the post about yesterday's relative temperatures. I certainly said nothing that indicated I wanted to go back to Washington due to the weather being better than Texas.
The fact is I prefer Texas weather to Washington weather, except for the months of July and August, when Western Washington's weather is often perfect.
If I moved back to Washington it'd be because I miss the scenery, saltwater, mountains, skiing, fresh seafood, fresh for the picking fruits and vegetables, better outdoor recreational opportunities, better parks, multiple National Parks, Canada being nearby, Oregon being nearby, the highly educated people, the liberal politics, the activism, the libraries and the coffee.
But, since I like whining so much, Texas is a Mother Lode of whining material, compared to virtually Mother Lode-free Washington, where I don't remember whining about much of anything, except maybe the rain.

Yeah, we tourists living in Washington collectively whine about the rain 10 months out of the year and maybe some about the traffic _if_ it's a bad evening commute. (We want to get home quickly to list all those things you listed!)
ReplyDeleteI'm currently whining about my home owners association insisting on watering my driveway. But that's about it.
Every time I come back here from vacation, I realize how lucky I am to live here.
