Past two weeks in Dallas we've been flirting with 20- and 30-year record highs for the dates; and only this past weekend, TX residents were notified that ERCOT was asking public to reduce peak hour usage and warning of possible gray-outs and rolling blackouts.

But damn, it has been miserably hot and humid this May-- something I don't expect in north Texas until late June (when summer hits us for real and stays around until late October).
