Sounding like a broken 'record'...the song: "The Heat is On!". Yep, still we swelter with no cold [or even a cool] front moving in in the near future. Of course, that's South Texas in summer. But, I'll be happy when November moves in and the hurricane season slows down to nothing threatening the Texas coast with Gulf temps reaching the magical number: 80°F. Once water surface temps drop to eighty or below, no hurricanes. And the air dries up and cooler nights and days. Now, I just don't get out much these days to walk or go birding. And if I do venture out, I'm not out long and most birds are finding cooler areas too; very few seen. So...
