YOU KNOW YOU ARE 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. (as does the edge of the window. Farmer tan takes on a whole new meaning when you brand yourself on the underside of your arm)
+ The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly. (not really chilly, just a bit..... cooler)
+ You discover that in July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car. (Even in June, one can drive with 2 fingers until the air conditioning kicks in)
+ You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window. (This is VERY True)
+ You actually burn your hand opening the car door. (Done that before)
+ You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m. (happened this morning)
+ Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?" (Ohhh, Please Gods!! Don't let me fall. If I do fall make me fall in the grass)
+ You realize that asphalt has a liquid state. (seen it happen, it even bubbles really cool)
+ The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper. (make sure you use hot pot holders)
+ Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.
+ The cows are giving evaporated milk.
Ah, what a place to call home.
