YOU KNOW IT'S HOT IN TEXAS WHEN???

saw two trees fighting over a dog
saw a bird pulling worms out of the ground wearing oven mitts
the corn in the field started popping, the donkey thought it was snow and froze to death
your seat belt buckle doubles as a branding iron

I put solar screens on the house in August 2009 and replaced both of my AC units last year in April with 16 SEER systems (previous were 10 SEER and poorly installed/matched.) Even with the high heat last month here I only used about 2600 Kwh vs cooler summers in 2008 & 2009 when I was seeing about 4000 Kwh usage. Both of these changes made a HUGE difference.

Radiant barrier and an extra 18 inches of insulation. Electric bill is still under $300 at around $250. We'll see how the next month goes.

......and then burp.

When your cows like you to run the sprinkler to "rain on them" and then lay in the puddles.

You see a scorpion with heat stroke.

...you get into a parking lot fight with a coworker over who gets to park beside the shade sapling.

We had window film installed on our glass. Tremendous help, as well.

You keep a spatula in the car for the cookies baking on the dash and to aid in the removal of bare skin from leather seats

...you see a lady on the news that got 2nd degree burns on her feet from walking to the store in flip-flops!

Native Texans wear shorts.

Politicians don't have their hands in anyone's pockets.

The cows give evaporated milk.

I was going to post a "You know it's hot when..." quip -- but it's too dang hot to bother...

The grapes turn to raisins as soon as you hit the parking lot
