“We have several neighbors relatively new to Texas who are throwing in the towel and moving out due to the heat.”

I’ve heard an exceptional number of people tell me the same. Can’t deal with this heat.

My Wife works with a bunch of Yankees who said they would never go back to shoveling snow all winter.

Guess it takes all kinds?

Still, not nearly as hot as Phoenix or Las Vegas can get. I remember spending time in Phoenix during August several years ago and it was around 115 and hovering at triple digits all through the night. Not even close to Iraq either, with its 130 degree heat. I remember donning my son’s 40+ pound kevlar, LCE and body armor before he went to Iraq and knowing that our troops wear this stuff all day and night in those conditions. So, 102-105 ain’t so bad when put in context.
