92 at DFW, you may not get your wish for a new record, depending on the southerly extent of that rain moving SE.

I agree with 1:15, why are you so obsessed with breaking the 1980 record? Look at it this way, now you can say to kids, "This summer was bad, but I survived 1980. So quit your complaining."

Honcho:
Wait - wasn't the wager that we would miss BREAKING the record by a day? We have only missed tying the record by a day.

Don't think I won't send off an SASE for the written transcript of what was said that day


I'm glad we didn't make it though. "Ugh! It's 1980 hot!" rolls off the tongue much easier than saying "It's 2011 hot." Plus, when the next heat wave blisters us, we (and by that I mean me) can go all codgery on the youngsters: "Oh, this is nuthin'. Why, back in my day...let's see...it was nineteen-and-dickety...We had to say dickety because the Kaiser had stolen the word we use for eighty."

we suffered for nuthin and its gonna go right back up into the 100's tomorrow.

Can't even wear the T shirt that says I survived the 2011 RECORD BREAKING heat wave.

Wish it had done this weeks ago before we had something to look forward to, and think about the stories for our grand kids

I look at the radar and see we are gonna get 2 inches. I look at the Rhome City Council agenda and see "we the people" are gonna get 8 inches, except it's gonna be in the shorts

"9/10ths 3 miles northeast of Chico"

Is that how many folks out of 10 that are short a chromosome or two? How far northeast of Chico do we need to go to get to normal?

Not sure Devil. How many people are normal in hell?
