You have heard it said, I am certain, that “only a TV weatherman or woman can be so wrong, so often, and still have a job.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, kids, I heard a gem today from a Dallas\/Fort Worth TV weatherman who said, with the sound of metaphysical certitude in his voice, that our oppressive heat is about to end.<\/p>\n

He said “in a day or two” we are going to see temperatures plunge from the near-record 100-degree-plus temps to the 80s and then the 70s. It got my attention, to be sure.<\/p>\n

I have boasted about my adaptability. Well, it has its limits. I never have liked extreme heat. For that matter, I don’t do well with extreme cold, either … but I won’t go there.<\/p>\n

I am going to take this TV talking head at his word that the summer blast is coming to an end.<\/p>\n

Toby the Puppy and I are getting ready to leave Princeton for a few days near the end of the month. I am hoping against all hope that we don’t run into any more of this furnace-like weather as we proceed westward.<\/p>\n

I am ready for an end to it. If the weather guys and gals are wrong this time … they need to be canned!<\/em><\/p>\n\n
