Welcome to Dallas, please remember your seats can be used as a flotation device. I believe we are now officially a tropical climate. It has been raining here for about 3 weeks, the temperature is in the 80's (which is really good considering it was 110^ 10 years ago), and my yard has yet to need watering. I'm thinking about planting some cocoanut trees in the ground to see if they will grow. The humidity is so bad that I don't need to dream of going to beach; I smell it when I step outside. The cement is now a familiar "wet look" and I can't remember what it looks like dry. I kinda enjoy it. I just wish I could see more of the sun - I'm a sun addict. We need tropical birds here too. Someone let the rainforest know there is a new candidate. I remember in history about reading how Texas was once a big ocean. I often wonder what it would look like if the water level of the earth was raised 15 feet. I can imagine getting in a boat and rowing to work, just like Venice. Instead of radios we could have gondola players in our boats. We could create a new language to go with our new atmosphere. I'm thinking a mix between Italian and the language people use in the Congo. I'll call it Italgo. I should go out and buy a life preserver. With this weather I think it just might happen.

Thought of the day
"We can strap her to the roof. It's not like it's going to rain."
