You Know You're In Texas In The Summer When...
*You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water." *You can say 110 degrees without fainting." *You eat hot chilies to cool your mouth off." *You can make instant sun tea." *You learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron." *The temperature drops below 95, you feel a bit chilly." *You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car." *You discover that you can get a sunburn through your car window." *You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance." *Hot water now comes out of both taps." *It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out on the streets." *You actually burn your hand opening the car door." *You break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m. before work." *No one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car or not having air conditioning." *Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?" *You realize that asphalt has a liquid state. ------------------

That is stuff I remember a little too well... folks in AZ can relate... I still remember camping in Lake Pleasant in Arizona - the temperature never got below 115 degrees (except at night) and it was an interesting learning experience!
 I hope they send me South for the winter!! I would rather face the ice down there than the snow up here!!  ------------------  Defender for the Light - Goodness knows there is a lot of Dark out there!! - Where are my matches?!? Wandering Soul - Finding my life's calling is Bodhisattva Looking for lost brain - I left it only for a moment....and there it goes... rolling under the table!! Noticing that the Light has gotten further down a Dark Tunnel than expected... Time to get the Lantern... Knowing sooner or later - I will get to the End of this Tunnel to the Open Air once again... |
