Texas Tough

It is very hard here in Texas to get into the Christmas spirit. It's freaking 70 degrees (about 20 centigrade for all my Euro-based readership) here and yesterday there was...get this...a dust storm that blew so much crud in from west Texas that by the time it got to Dallas, it looked like fog. It gets chilly at night, but highs later in the week are getting up to 60 (15 centigrade). No dust storms in the forecast that I'm aware of.
