Thank whatever Gods may be that summer in Texas was delayed a couple of months due to the insane amounts of rain that unfortunately flooded many areas. The down side(other than the flooding) to all of that cool(er) weather is that summer has finally reared it's ugly head and has come back this week with a vengeance to make up for some lost time.
The following can be true of Anywhere, USA, but damn(!), it's especially funny in Texas because it's true.
YOU KNOW IT's SUMMER IN TEXAS WHEN. . . .
The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
The trees are whistling for the dogs.
The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
Hot water comes out of both taps.
You can make sun tea instantly.
You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron!
The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly.
You discover that it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.
You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.
You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 am.
Your greatest fear in an accident 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.
The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper.
Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.
The cows are giving evaporated milk.
Ah . . . what a wonderful place to call home.
Try to stay cool!

But at least I made you smile.

That's funny. A lot of that was true for us here in N.C. last week. Thankfully, it was a cool 91 here today, lol.
And I thought I was the only person who appreciated this little, forgotten movie.
I own it on DVD, and might just have to watch it soon as it's been years.
I remember him chewing Blackjack gum or something like that in the movie too.
Trisha: I'd settle for 91. This is our first week in the 100s and it looks it's here to stay that way now :-(
2 Dollar: I think I remember BlackJack gum.
This movie was a teenage staple.
