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.
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.
You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.
You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
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.
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. Ah, what a place to call home.
Don't Mess With Texas!

Bill -
You forgot. That day in July when all records are broken is also the day the AC breaks down, and the service company says "we can get to you in about a week."

You Texans are aware, aren't you, that we're coming up on June and not July? Or is this sort of thing now following the lead of Hallowe'en and Christmas? Will another Texan in the future post 'Texas in July,' say, on Valentine's Day? |

Naw, Frank,
We'll probably do it like we do now, whenever we damned well please!
