Heaven came to Texas Today
Texas is in the midst of the most unusual weather phenomenom I have ever experienced. Our high today in the Houston-Galveston coastal area where I live was 81 degrees, a tempature that has not been seen in August since the 19th Century, when a volcano blew up and lowered temps all over the world. This has been going on for two weeks. The humidity is also non-existent. Usually at this time of year in Houston, it is 105 degrees with 90% humidity, and everyone here hides in their house until September. I usually park my convertible for the summer, because the heat and humidity will wreck your interior and fade your paint. Today I took old 83 280SL on a long top down tour of Galveston Bay. There was an unbelievable cool breeze blowing all day. Cool, and not a cloud in the sky. In addition, for some other unknown reason, the usual muddy and nasty looking ocean water that laps the beaches of Galveston turned a beautiful sea green without a hint of mud. People here all are acting like they just smoked a really big joint of the best Hawaiin. If there is a definition of Mercedes Benz heaven, today was it.

81 degrees? Kinda HOT ain't it? I drive around in 20 degree weather with my windows down and a tee shirt on with a cold Mt. Dew. Sheeesh, turn on the A/C!

Oh yeah Jim, they call that global warming
 .If that's heaven, maybe they should move Texas north. The Packers hate that long commute anyways. The Bears don't mind though, anything to get out of Chicago. Gilly
