Freeze ‘em or fry ‘em. Either way works for me.
Heck, even some good California conservatives have pulled up stakes and bailed from Texas because of the heat. Talked to a California Freeper last summer who had had enough, and was heading north.
Being a native Californio myself, I understand, but the positives in Texas far outweigh the negatives, in my opinion. I've learned to deal with the critters and the tougher summers.
