YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN TEXAS IN AUGUST 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.

God Bless Our State of TEXAS !!

I don't know about Texas, but that sounds like southeastern Virginia this summer.

But you have to add the "Air you can wear."

You forgot one.

You have to take your jacket with you in July to wear INSIDE the Baptist Church because some idiot in a 3-piece suit cranked the AC down to 66.

Shalom. P.S. My apologies, I meant Deacon Idiot
