So far, so good for the Texas power grid. During extreme weather though, "rolling blackouts" may be needed. Even though it doesn't seem like they're allowed.
It is definitely the dog days of summer. With temperatures near and above one hundred for the next several days, it is important to keep an eye on your dogs. Some people think that my dogs are used to being outside.
When you are driving around town in the oppressive heat of summer you probably have a few complaints about the other drivers around you and all the road construction going on around town. Try being a road crew worker, that's pretty hot.
