Priceless. Glad that prank failed, sorry your team had to lose to accomplish it.
We had a toasty 85 here yesterday. Too hot to go out walking.
You’d never survive in South Texas.
What a difference geographic location makes-85 is lovely walking weather-not too hot until it gets into the 90’s here...
I don’t usually watch Fox at night, but I caught Beckel dropping the f-bomb on Fox last night-he apparently wasn’t aware the break was over and they were back on air. I think Fox must pay him and a few others to make the left look really bad-Tamara Holder and that smarmy Alan Colmes come to mind.
It’s a pretty sweet gig. He’s just got to mouth the day’s lefty platitudes and then chuckle when everyone humorously chastises him.
Oh, I would thrive. I would not wear long pants, shoes, socks to go walking at the height of the heat. I would walk early or late or in an air conditioned mall, or in my pool like I do up here all summer. I was fool enough to go out yesterday with long pants on right when temps peaked. I went back out just before dusk and it was perfect.
