Universe Champs




Summer is here, wheat harvest is in full swing, it's hot and sticky, and Oklahoma
has the NBA Champs.

You know, normal June stuff here in Oklahoma. And as per usual, rain chances when
we start getting deeper into summer shift to the High Plains, and that's what
we're starting to see yesterday and into the next few days.





I mean, it's not a lot but it IS a semi-arid desert, after all.

Oh, you want a semi-arid DESSERT? Just ask me to bake a cake. I'll have you one
drier than your grandpappy's scalp served right up!

Okay, we're spiraling out of control here, but so is this sticky heat this week,
as we can see from our fine friends from the local NWS offices.





And you know, as far as ACTUAL air temperatures, things haven't been too bad
thus far.





The heat index is a bit upwards of normal, at least for this part of June,
however.



Who's even still reading this anyway? Y'all are still drunk from last night!
No, not drunk on booze, drunk on WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. Well, at least some
of you.

Myself? I had two, maybe three, celebratory chocolate milks and went out looking
for trouble.

But that's a story for another day.
