    Well, plus everything was two door only, and there were three of us kids.

    Our place down in Pleasant Grove was terrible. Old house, no insulation, air, or heat. Summers were sweltering and winters you could feel the frostbite trying to take hold. 9714 San Leon Ave. I swore I'd do everything I could to never have to live like that again if I possibly could.

    Just a bit warm, there. Summer of 1980 was brutal, saw 115� F, heat index even higher, and rode 15 miles to go to the movies, in the heat, gas station to gas station to drink all the cold water I could hold at each stop. There was a stretch of over 100 days over 100 degrees. Happened again two years ago.

    I was in Texas on the record setting day in 1980, then again when the record was broken in 2011.

    OK, I was wrong about the number of days of heat, so I'm doing a mea culpa.

    In*Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, high temperatures exceeded*100 �F*(38*�C)*a total of 69 times, including a record 42 consecutive days from June 23 to August 3. Dallas/Fort Worth reached an all-time high when the temperature hit*113 �F*(45*�C)*on three consecutive days on June 26–28. In all, the Dallas/Fort Worth area saw 29*days in which the previous record high temperature was either broken or tied. Dallas also had 28 days above 105 and five days above 110.*Hurricane Allen*helped to end the heat wave in early August. Some of the DFW records were eclipsed by the 2011 heat wave, but 1980 still stands out for its extreme heat.

    Our cars didn't even have AC. Trips were made with 2/60 air conditioning. We were always wet by the end of the trips.

    And to clarify, that wasn't a good wet, either.

    It's one of those that you actually had to think about for a minute or so considering. Dennis Rodman is kind of like that guy 'Mayhem' in the Allstate commercials!
    Only with less class and a weird hairdo.

    Congrats to me for making the 90,000th post in the CrackBerry 50K Challenge (or whatever it's called today). And my post is actually quite fitting for this milestone. Over the post 90,000 posts, the duck has taken much abuse. So to celebrate this milestone, I get an avatar that will remind everyone...
