Weathering the Weather

It's so hot in Texas. We briefly had one day of "cooler" weather on Wednesday when we had 97 for the high, but then it shot back up to 107 the next day. It could always be worse, such as the wildfires in Hawaii and Canada, but climate change is making it hard for everyone on a regular basis. I just hope we get actual fall weather this fall.

There was some good news on Thursday, when a federal judge struck down part of the Texas voter suppression law. It was just parts on identification numbers on mail-in ballots, but it seems there will be a trial challenging other parts of the law in September. Hope we can get more good rulings.

I saw a cute alien movie called Jules last week, but it's already disappeared from my local theaters. The alien was played by a person in costume, not CGI, and it's really good.

Some DFW theaters are staging mysteries such as Agatha Christie's Mousetrap and an adaptation of Clue in October, so I want to try to see those if I can get days off on performance nights. Oh and then next season, Stage West is putting on a Sherlock Holmes play. I really hope this revival of mysteries will continue with actual detective stories and not just gruesome true crime, or Branagh's crappy version of Poirot.
