Today will be the 30th day of triple digit temperatures in the Dallas - Ft. Worth metro area. And this week the forecast is for even more soaring temps, up to 108 by mid week. Joy.
The drought is so severe here that contractors are getting hundreds of phone calls for foundation work. It seems that the soil is so dry that building foundations are slipping and cracking. The soil is heavy clay which expands when wet and contracts when dry. Since all the moisture in the soil is virtually gone, the support is failing.
On a happier note, my brother John is coming to TX today for a short visit. Jennifer is also returning home after an absence of a month! Hurray! Some people to talk to! We will have a good, albeit hot, week.
