I just checked the local National Weather Service Web site for the temperature. It is 60 degrees here in Beaumont, Texas, at 6:35 a.m. Yeah, I don’t know what I am doing up at this time on Saturday morning either. But my days have all been screwy since the hurricane.
Yesterday was simply a beautiful day, weatherwise. Today may prove to be equally dazzling, according to this local forecast:
“Saturday…Partly cloudy. Highs in the mid 70s. North winds around 10 mph.
“Saturday Night…Mostly clear. Lows in the lower 50s. North winds around 10 mph in the evening becoming light and variable.”
After sweltering heat during the last couple of months — including a few nights without air conditioning thanks to a bitch named Rita — the temps are a welcome relief. It’s like a wise old man once said: “You can’t beat it with a stick.”
