Record heat wave in Austin, Tx.

If you were born after 1925, today will likely be the day you can say you’ve lived through the hottest summer on record in Austin, Texas.

The area is poised to reach the 70th triple-digit day of the year today, breaking am 86-year-old record of 69 triple-digit days. We could reach 105 today, forecasters say.

Does anyone know if there is a GPS or computer program that will tell you the price of gas at the stations along a route you are taking?

Even if it hits the outer banks in NC we are still going to catch some high winds,flooding and possible damage.

Good Luck Charles !

Thunder

Had some thunder near Dallas this morning, but no rain before I left for work. Scared the dog. She hadn't heard thunder for several months and wasn't sure what was going on.

Summary of taxes paid on the $300.00 earnings
Employment taxes 21% or

The total amount of taxes paid on your hard earned $300.00 now equates to an alarming 40% for low income.

If you buy on credit than pay some over inflated rate of 21%. The banks and credit card are ok financially.
Cheers!

That's why there needs to be a change for the people, by the people.

These floating fish look a lot easier to handle than the little RC helicopters, and still fun for younger kids. smile
