Expect the well above normal conditions, with temperatures approaching or breaking record highs, to become the norm for awhile as the weather pattern changes to one more similar of mid May.
The coolest day over the next 7 days will be Monday, due to clouds and some showers around the region associated with a low pressure system. After that, Tuesday through Saturday are forecast each day to reach the upper 60s to lower 70s, and even some mid 70s readings are possible.
These readings will approach or break record highs each day.

Fire truck sirens were blaring and helicopters filling the sky like crazy."

SPRING FEVER....HERE I COME!
I made a run over to the Co-op. The time and temp sign on Cass said 55 degrees! This would be a really beautiful day if the wind wasn't blowing so hard.
WET DOG STORY FROM WILLARD
"I took Buddy out for a walk. It had stopped raining but, of course, it started to drizzle when we got out there. When we got back I toweled him off , as best I could, and gave him breakfast. And...so it goes."
"And so it goes" made me think of Linda Ellerbie so I looked her up on Wikipedia. I didn't know she was from Texas. We went to the same high school in Houston. Lamar High. Yeah Redskins!"

DONNIE AND LINDA ARE CACTUS FARMING
"God has squeezed another inch of rain out of the heavens for us, and so far in 2012 we are above average for precipitation.
I don't know what we have done to deserve this (unless it was dragging Rick Perry back home and sparing the rest of the land), but I am pushing our luck, and spending hundreds of dollars on sod for our lawn, which will require ample start-up moisture at least for a couple more months.
We also bought stones and soil and bricks for a cactus bed Linda as been building, for years. All told, we will have spent several thousand dollars--for rocks and dirt."

Have you ever been on a flight that was struck by lightening? I was, on a flight to Denver and, believe me, it will make you sit up and take notice!

The name might night ring a bell but if I mention JAN AND DEAN it might. They were a surfin' duo during the days of other hit groups like the BEACH BOYS.
Here's an old Jan and Dean hit.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE KONY STORY
I GOT THE ULTRASOUND OUT OF THE WAY
Everyone was glad to see me again. If it wasn't for the clinic I wouldn't have any social life at all. Now, a very quiet weekend before the colonoscopy on Monday.
