You'll See Less Skin This Bathing Suit Season

Jen Austin — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 13:37:00 +0000

The forecast today in Lufkin includes chilly rain, and most of us are not exactly thinking about bathing suit season. But manufacturers and the fashion industry are always thinking ahead and their minds are already on the summer months. Some stores are even getting shipments of bathing suits right now.

The word is, there will be less skin showing this summer. Guys hate it, girls may love it! Those of us who haven't been doing our sit ups and crunches regularly (and those of us who drank one too many egg nogs over the holidays) may be happy about the bathing suit prediction for the summer.

Venturing outside these days makes it hard to breath. Even walking from the nice, cool office out to the car after work can make a girl sweat. And we don't even want to talk about that temperature inside the car. Ouch! Those seats are sizzlin'.

We probably don't have to tell you that a heat advisory is in effect for much of East Texas, including Angelina and Nacogdoches Counties, through 7pm Thursday. What does that mean exactly?

July is National Ice Cream month! Oh, yeah it’s official! It has been since 1984 when Ronald Reagan designated the month of July to celebrate ice cream! He also declared the third Sunday in July to be National Ice Cream Day. Cool that’s this Sunday! Did you know the flavor of ice cream you like says something about your personality?

Lufkin, Nacogdoches and Diboll Kids Flocking to Boys and Girls Clubs

Jen Austin — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:41:11 +0000

After reading more about the Boys and Girls Club of Deep East Texas, I wish I was a kid again! It sounds like they're learning some valuable life skills -- even how to change a flat tire. That means 9-year olds who hang out at the Boys and Girls Club this summer, will come in handier in a pinch than most adults.

Summer Officially Arrives on Wednesday, June 20

Rick St. Nick — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 13:00:07 +0000

You would think that summer began in East Texas last year around Christmas time. Balmy, along with warmer than normal temps, and the steady rumbling of the A/C unit, was plenty enough to suggest we were reeling from “the other summer” (winter), even if the calendar hanging on the wall in the kitchen had pictures of snowflakes, icicles, and polar bears. [...]

School's Out, Why Can't Workers be Released for the Summer?

Jen Austin — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 21:51:42 +0000

We grew up having our summers free, out of school. Why can't that yearly sabbatical continue into adulthood?

Could you imagine having the summers off? We'd be at Lake Sam Rayburn every day sunning ourselves, not thinking about conference calls and work meetings and deadlines. We could go the the movies whenever we wanted, and go out to lunch and down a margarita with the quesadillas if we wanted to. You can see I've put some thought into this.

Some offices do relax a bit during the summer. My spouse's office hours end at 3:00pm four days out of the week during the summer. What summer benefit would you most like to see?

Just How Hot Will It Be This Summer?

Jen Austin — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 15:16:47 +0000

Last summer was hot. Miserably hot. But meteorologists are predicting that this summer might not be so bad. Might we actually be able to leave our air-conditioned homes, schools, and offices at 4 p.m. without pain? Will the pools be cool and refreshing, instead of feeling like bath water? We won’t go so far as [...]

All the air conditioners in the world can't cool you down like an icy mixed drink, so if you're looking for a few to choose from, look no further than this list.
