Sorry. Dallas was 65 this morning, with highs in the 80's all week. On the other hand, we did have to endure about 45 days above 100. That sucked!

It was 39 when I left. I didn't think I'd need the winter (old snowmoble) gloves, but wished I had them before I got to work. I actually stopped about halfway and and warmed both hands on the engine for a bit.
