It is another very pleasant day at the doghouse. Low 80s for the high. Really nice sleeping weather at night -- upper 50s last night.
However, Texas is still bone dry, and as the fall and winter winds kick up, things could get very bad, unless we get some rain. Actually, lots of rain. Then come the spring winds, which are the highest. We better get a bunch of rain before then.
Not to worry, though, governor goodhair has a plan -- cut state spending on firefighting by $34 million, and pray for rain.
80 percent of the firefighters fighting these wildfires are volunteer firefighters, and they are exhausted. Of course, most of that $34 million in spending cuts is grants to volunteer fire departments, so they can buy wasteful things, like fire trucks and firefighting clothing.
Oh well, rant off. The weather is pleasant for outdoor activities, at least. Well, if your house isn't in the path of a wildfire.
