Today’s the day! Cen­tral Texas breaks the 1925 record of 69 days over 100° F with day 70 for 2011; and with the crispy expec­ta­tion of best­ing it by another cou­ple of weeks before we see a day less than 100° around here.

What do peo­ple do when they need to make a seri­ous change in the weather? They dance! See Cen­tral Tex­ans doing some seri­ous, and not quite so seri­ous, rain danc­ing at Lake Travis Rain Dance. Con­tes­tants are com­pet­ing for votes, prizes, your com­ments, but the biggest prize would be a big ‘ole drench­ing of this dry, dry dirt.

Mandie-Sue wants to do her part to bring some rain show­ers so she put on her best seri­ous face and went to town in a leop­ard ensem­ble to the tune of Swedish band Fulkultur’s Ugly Dance. Help her with her moves and do a lit­tle rain dance of your own. (Hind Legs oper­ate the bot­tom legs and Front Legs oper­ate the arms.)

Oh yeah… If you have a lit­tle spare rain, please send it our way.
