We got married an an outdoor site in Vegas.  Unfortunately, they were going through a heat wave so it was 122 degrees during the wedding.  Not great tuxedo weather.

Was chatting with one of the other dog owners on the walk this morning, and he was remarking on the fact that I was wearing an open windbreaker over a t-shirt and gym shorts while he was bundled up in long pants, long sleeves, and a puffer jacket. Asked if I was originally from Wisconsin or something... Nope, Chicago.

He's got a son who is a college basketball player at St Ambrose in Davenport, IA, and he and his other son are going there this weekend to see him play. At least they've looked at the weather and they *know* they're in for it... But I think it'll be a bit of a shock.

Nice day here, 54°F right now but has clouded up, and we're in for some rain later in the week.

I got an Apple watch for my birthday and I rather like it.  I also got my first iPhone, which is decent, not dramatically better than my old phone though, better battery life.

Reminds me of the time I went out to play a round of golf at the old Desert Inn course in Vegas and there was nobody on the course

I asked the starter where everybody was and he said it was too hot for most folks

It was near 100

I said hell Im from Texas if the temp would run me off Id never play

anyway I paired up with a police officer from Dallas 

we had a cart and played 36 holes in just under 6 hours

great time

My son got married July 5th, 2019. It was the hottest day on record in Wisconsin that year. It was also super-humid.

Of course, we were wearing black suits. Outside.

100 out here is fine - it's like 85 in FL.

My first marriage was August 31 in Raleigh, NC, in some arboretum that in effect was a greenhouse.  The guests didn't last long, nor did the marriage.

It's interesting how 40°F can be fairly pleasant, or pretty cold, and 95°F can be the same (hot), depending on wind, humidity, and the sun.

A day that is 95° with 78% RH is going to be pretty rough with no breeze in the sun.  That is why the "feels like" temps they report don't make sense to me.

they may want to get outta Dodge (Davenport) before the snow hits.  Watch the saturday game, have dinner and git.

otherwise, nice January weather for Eastern Iowa
