Texas temperatures

Although the temperatures have really dropped in the last few weeks and the weather is beautiful at the moment I didn't want to keep this from you.

I believe I have put a similar posting on this blog about Dubai temperatures but I love how this list of things boils down (excuse the pun) to the same idea but with a Texas twist!

You Know You're In Texas In July 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 now 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 in July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.
• Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cooked 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.
