But thank you, Mr. S, for reminding us that the end is near.
Sorry, I did not mean any offense. I have never known a winter in my entire life (seen snow about 4 times) and what you speak of blows my mind. I am tickled to have an even mild by our standards winter because last summer we had the third worst summer on record and I could hardly ride much of the summer due to 50+ days where the temperature sweltered over 100, often before noon we hit 100 and were still there at 9:00 pm. People died here due to inability to cool themselves but that gets little news coverage when it is Texas.

The temperature is mild but we should be having rain to end what is quickly becoming the worst drought on record. I would give anything to be stuck inside for weeks due to rain. Texas is a pretty depressing place this winter if you look around too long, I rode through a contained brush fire for the 4th time this month last weekend.

Mr.- Do not wish for my weather, it also has 40 mph wind gusts. I am not riding this weekend either since I do not fancy myself as a kite.
