A man who became known to the Kemah community as the “naked unicyclist” has died after an overnight traffic accident, police said.

Finally, we’re getting a real Texas summer, with daytime temps getting into the 100s (38+C). Not that I was looking for that kind of heat, mind you. But the really hot stuff has held off much longer than usual, and I’m grateful.
