65 days, but who's counting?

Apparently all of central Texas is counting...days over 100 degrees F that is. Since the beginning of Summer on June 21, we have experienced 65 days over 100F, and we are still counting! And the days that haven't hit 100F have come pretty close (95F or above). If it makes it to 70 days of over 100F it will become the new record, breaking the record set in 1925! I have no doubt this will happen since summer doesn't end until the middle of September and I am pretty sure that it is going to stay hot forever. (People tell me it cools down in October, but I think they are all lying). My Canadian blood, thinned out by 5 years in New England, is not thin enough for this place. I've told Husband if it is still hitting 100F in September, I'm moving! He can stay if he wants, but I am thinking Alaska sounds nice right about now...
