After 11:45 am Mass at St. Albert the Great Church in Austin, we attended a church tour and luncheon for new parishioners. It was good. Later this afternoon we heard that the air conditioner broke this morning at the Austin Humane Society and they needed donations of fans and ice. We were bored in the apartment, so we took a few bags over to look at the dogs and cats. Turns out that the place was packed with people because the Society decided to waive the adoption fees today and tomorrow to move the animals out. We did not cave and get any of the cute animals. I said yesterday was the hottest of the year...well, Austin had the state high today at 112 F. This ties the all time high temperature record for Austin set in 2000. One way to beat the heat is to drink plenty of liquids. The Texans love their sweet tea, and for soda Dr. Pepper is quite popular (way more than Mountain Dew). One of the Dr. Pepper knockoffs at the local HEB store is called Dr. B.
