Congrats to DJ & Clark!

What a week it has been here.  We hit 101º today...that is actual temp, not heat index...that was likely somewhere between 115-120º!  Last night at midnight, it was still 82º outside.  Tonight we had a small storm go thru so that lowered the temps this evening...only 76º right now, 9:45pm.
