One more day




Oh, I know what you're thinking...you're thinking "But Gary, you're so smart,
intelligent, and wise, why throw tacos on there?"

I threw that first part in there so you would have to read it and then
involuntarily think it, so it's on the record now in your brain as me being
smart, intelligent, and wise! Sorry, I don't make the rules. Well, I guess I make
the Ticker rules, but brains and the Ticker don't normally coincide.

Now about the tacos part...why throw tacos on there? The real question should be
"why NOT throw tacos on there?"

As far as the weather goes, we have one more hot day in store before we go back
to normal'ish--if not below-normal'ish--temperatures to start the first week or
so of July. I'm not saying *I* like this, being a Warminista and all, but I know
some of you people (edited for my safety) will love this. Watch for upper-90s to
possibly a few triple-digits across the state, with heat index values up in the
110 range in far eastern OK.





Then tomorrow the rain and clouds move in and we go back to the 80s for highs.
No, not the 1980s, although I will be wearing my favorite Jams enjoying some
really rad weather!



And then as we've talked about all week, we go into that rainy, more mild
pattern with off an on summer-style storms for the next 7+ days.





That rainy period could continue well into the following week as well, which
would also mean the milder weather continues.



And finally, Gary has a full head of glorious hair...think Brad Pitt in "Legends
of the Fall."

AH AH AH...sorry, it's on the record!
