This final Friday of the 2025 version of July found the outer world at my North Texas location warmed to 99 degrees at my regular morning communing with nature time of the day.
With little wind blowing.
So, I opted to travel in air-conditioned comfort the short distance from my abode to the nearest chilly Walmart to get in my endorphin acquiring aerobic stimulation.
And, since it was Walmart, the aerobic stimulation was combined with fascinating anthropological observations.
So, what's up with the photo above showing 115 degrees?
Well, a couple minutes after 5 this Friday afternoon I exited my air-conditioned interior space to walk the short distance to my air-conditioned means of motorized motion.
It was a HOT short walk.
When I ignited the vehicle's engine, I saw the vehicle's temperature monitor informing me that the reason I felt HOT was because the temperature was 115 degrees, as measured via the Fahrenheit method.
I had exited my abode because I wanted to go to ALDI to acquire ingredients I needed to make a burrito casserole tomorrow.
It's only a couple miles to ALDI. And a short HOT walk from parking to store entry.
But, ALDI did not have a couple of the ingredients I needed. That necessitated driving to the store across the street from ALDI.
Walmart.
And parking a longer distance from the store's entry than is the case at ALDI. Thus, a HOT walk to get to air-conditioned comfort.
You may be wondering why I did not go to ALDI this morning, when I went to Walmart, with you thinking the Walmart by ALDI is the one I went to this morning.
I have two nearby Walmart's. The one I went to this morning is about a mile from my abode. The one by ALDI is about two miles from my abode.
This town has three Walmart's. The third one is at the north end of town, by the air force base. It is the biggest of the three Walmart's in town. And the least entertaining, anthropological observing-wise...
