holy hot!

i went to the student rec center today and it was quite warm in the weight room as i worked out on the bikes and pumped a little iron. it was a tough workout only because it felt like the air conditioner was not on. hopefully that helped me lose a few more calories. when i went outside the thermometer on kyle field (the giant aggie football stadium for you yanks who don't know) said ONE HUNDRED AND NINE DEGREES! one of these days i wouldn't be surprised if i drove past kyle field only to see red digital numbers dripping down the concrete or exploded all over the place because of the ridiculous heat!! numbers EVERYWHERE! at any rate, the lady on the radio today said that september would be here soon so things would cool off. my comment was "yeah right!" what do you think native texans? what's fall going to look like after this summer of swamp ass?

I love the giant clock/thermometer on the side of Kyle Field. It is there for intimidation of visitors. "Welcome to Kyle Field where it is 2 degrees cooler than Hell. Gig 'Em."

Anyway, a large thermometer on the West side of a large concrete wall above a large asphalt parking lot is going to exaggerate a bit. It was only 97 yesterday, though the heat index was probably around 105. They could probably move the sensor and get a more accurate reading, but I don't think they should. Leave it where it reports depressing temps and try to scare a few people out of town.

Now, regarding the question this comment is supposed to answer :) ... It is going to remain hotter than Hell through the first two home football games. Things will start to cool off at the end of September. October will be a nice month. I'm basing this off of my decade of experience in town. :(
