Down in the Ouachitas you can watch the steam come off the trees when it gets like this. It just cooks. I don’t know why I ever wanted to come home to retire, thought it was family but they are mostly gone now. I have sworn for years I would never spend another July and August in Oklahoma or Texas but I still do.
The snakes seem to love it. Weather like this is when I got bit by a copperhead on the Kiamichi River surveying. Just glad it wasn’t a rattler.
The reason that you retired there is that once you get through with three months of the blast furnace that you have nine months of pretty good weather. I guess our June-September is the same as December-March for the guy in Minnesota. At least he has hockey.
