How to tell if it is Summer in Texas

[JB]

Never mind the calendar. Summer comes to Texas whenever it pleases.

You know that Summer is here when the lush green grasses turn brown. As Summer advances the brown grass crunches and rustles when you walk on it.:redface:

Then your thermometer starts dropping the most significant digit, like gas pumps. So a reading of "05" is really 105.

If you have reached a state of maturity that you head dispenses with hair on top in order to grow it out your ears and nose, your Doc insists that you never go outdoors hatless.

Finally, you start getting hot water from both faucets.

It is Summer in Texas.

Looking at the news today and they were saying you guys down there are dry,very dry. I sure wish we could send some of our rain your way as we have been getting way to much of it this year.

You know it's summer in Texas when your water bill looks like your normal electric bill and your electric bill looks more like your mortgage!

This sure does sound similar to a Louisiana summer..

Gotta be careful going out in the yard, the cracks from drought are big enough to twist an ankle..!

Summer in Minnesota is the one day it gets over 90 and the sun shines till the tornadoes roll in. If it falls on a Sunday you can have a picnic.

I still have to wear long johns to go fishing at daybreak. Cleaned a bass yesterday and it still had eggs in it. This is getting ridiculous.

Re: How to tell if it is Summer in Texas

wait......95 and 100% humidity isn't normal everywhere? What is this "summer" you speak of? Does that mean there are different seasons of the year? And, while we're at it, can someone please explain this mythical "rain" I've heard so much about......

I had to modify my roto tiller. I had to take off the V-bar tires and bolo tines, and install pontoons and wooden spoons.

(edit) Just had a whitetail deer wander by my bedroom window. Got to the driveway and sauntered down it toward the road. I guess he just can't deal with the 6 foot meadow grass.

It was 83 last night a midnight. Today is going to 93. Everyday is %100 humidity. It will hit the 100's inland by August. But I wouldn't trade it to live anywhere else

I was up there last summer, it was around 77 - 78 or so and everyone had their car windows up with the AC running. I think you folks LIKE being cold.

I'm not in minn, but Il. is close. 78 degrees is HOT!!!!
Give me the cold anyday!!

Went in my pool yesterday. It was more to justify the cost of electricity and chemicals than it was to cool off.
