Hot and sunny every day may sound nice, but it is taking it's toll on us here in Texas...

No big fireworks display over Lady Bird Lake by the city this year. 
In the past, it was great fun to ride bikes to downtown, sit on the bridge and watch the show, accompanied by the Austin symphony orchestra playing the 1812 Overture. Fireworks sales also banned. Some towns are putting on a laser light display, however that works.
About 100 degrees right now in early afternoon. All of Texas is a total tinderbox.
Worst drought on record, absolutely no relief in sight, the lake levels are dropping rapidly and Austin still allows residential watering twice a week. Perplexing. We are working on just trying to keep trees alive.
