Great news!!

The Associated Press: Edouard now depression after drenching Texas coast

The great news is not that my home state is drowning - that's not a good thing.

But the good news is that this weather is drenching us and keeping the temp at 95 degrees or lower. Today it was 75 degrees at 6pm. That doesn't usually happen until late October or early November. We haven't had rain in a while - or so people tell me. Growing up in the wilds of west TX I have always thought rain more than once every 3 months was excessive. I think it has been about a month or something - whatever. I don't like mud. But I do like relief from the heat. And for now, I've got it.

How sad is it that 95 degrees is a relief? I live in hell.

Another sign that I am probably going straight to hell

I tried to find a video of the commercial in question, but to no avail.

It begins with a speech in which the dude says he is calling on the youth of the world to gather in Beijing in 2008 and then it cuts to a bunch of shots of training athletes and they are all texting each other saying things like "I'm ready" or "On my way." Nothing really notable.

This comes on while we are eating lunch, and hubby sort of snorts. I look at him with a questioning look and he says, "Right - because youth gatherings in Beijing have such a successful record."

I paused for a moment, then laughed outloud.

And THAT'S why I'm going to hell.
