Summer in Texas

June 9, 2006

Although it is still 13 days til summer, I thought this was appropriate, as it is 97 degrees at 6:35 PM.  Drought conditions have returned to our fair state and it is HOT!

  • You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water
  • You can say 110 degrees without fainting
  • You eat hot chilies to cool your mouth off
  • You can make instant sun tea
  • You learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron
  • The temperature drops below 95, you feel a bit chilly
  • You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car
  • You discover that you can get a sunburn through your car’s tinted window
  • You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance
  • Hot water now comes out of both taps
  • It’s noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out on the streets
  • You actually burn your hand opening the car door
  • You break a sweat the instant you step outside…at 7:30 a.m.before work
  • No one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car or not having air conditioning
  • Your biggest bicycle wreck fear 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

Maybe I should visit hellboy.  Dual purpose, cool off and beat his in-laws up. 😀

Pet Peeves

June 9, 2006

Everyone has them, right?   I came, quite literally, head on with one of my big pet pevees this morning.

It was still dark, when I stumbled into the kitchen to make a pot of coffee.  I leaned over to turn on the light above the sink and WHAP right in the face with an open cabinet door.  Are those damned things put on cabinets to leave open and expose their contents?  Are they left open just to piss me off?  If so IT GODDAM SURE WORKED!

Killing resident evil-1-0-1's is still against the law huh?
