I think it was the weatherman that set me on a rant.
He stated "everyone just needs to stay indoors today, from noon'ish until around 6"
That kind of set me off, he was acting like it was Armageddon time.
So much scoreboard in that post. First he played golf today and second he has dry fit clothes.I played golf from 2:00-6:00 today... hot as balls but if you wear dri-fit/performance shirts and shorts, it's not too bad.
I wore normal khaki shorts today though and was rocking a serious jungle-grundle by hole 3.
I had a poop-brown 1983 Mustang with no A/C all through my TCU years. Including working summers as a runner for law firms in the old TeamBank building downtown. Driving all over D/FW in the summer in a car with no A/C was brutal. They were re-surfacing I30 at that time. Sitting on new pavement in a car with no A/C between Fort Worth and Dallas in August is one of the circles of hell.
San DiegoGrowing up in Texas playing a lot of golf and primarily being outdoors most of my working career. The heat in Texas is something I have been used to but as I've gotten older the heat is tougher to deal with than it was years ago. It would be nice to have a cool low humidity 60's degree day all year around. What place on earth or here in the U.S. can I/we go for that?
Go Frogs!

Love getting on GolfNow during the summer and playing courses for $20 just because it's an afternoon tee time.I played golf from 2:00-6:00 today... hot as balls but if you wear dri-fit/performance shirts and shorts, it's not too bad.

That's completely bassackwards. You can only take off so much to be cooler. You can keep putting extra stuff on to get warm. Besides, it doesn't get THAT cold in North Central Texas, ever.I would much rather it be 100 than anything below around 60.
I can take clothes off to get cool but can't find enough layers to ever get warm.
AgreeThat's completely bassackwards. You can only take off so much to be cooler. You can keep putting extra stuff on to get warm. Besides, it doesn't get THAT cold in North Central Texas, ever.
Holy crap you would rather it be 100 than say 50? Hell no, not for me Wear a thin jacket and that weather is perfect. I do hate the extreme cold though.
Much prefer 90 to 15 and 105 to zero. Hottest I've been on 115 which I'm sure is much better than -15.
Agree
I don't mind hot weather, but realtor frog's logic couldn't be more wrong.
I could've been naked on the golf course yesterday and it still would've been hotter than ship. If it's 55, you can wear a fleece and shorts and be completely comfortable.

I was working for my grandfather in the summer of '79 in sweltering heat, he was 78 at the time. We were stacking hay in the barn and he looked at me and said the worst invention of all time was air conditioning. He said it made us "soft". LOL He lived to be 97 years old.
