[misanthrope]

Summer of 1980; 100 consecutive days over 100f in Ft. Worth.

Had a hell of a hailstorm that Spring, I was roofing.

I was living in Midland that year. There had been more rain there than in Fort Smith. I flew in to OKC and from the air the earth looked like it had been pounded flat to a dusty pulp. I have never complained about rain again.
