In honor of a full week of temperatures between 105 and 110 degrees, I thought I'd provide some clues to let you know when you're smack dab in the middle of a Texas summer.
-Your sister tells you that if you're going to run in the morning, you'd better be back before 7 a.m.
-To avoid heat stroke, you have to leave the pool by noon.
-Your little brother stands outside watching the spray from a sprinkler evaporate.
-The heat makes you shiver and gives you goose bumps.
-The best survival strategy in the afternoon is to pull the shades, turn off the lights, and sleep through the heat.
-Your sisters discuss using the car to bake cookies.
-The dollar theater is your best friend, but only if your parking spot is close to the front door.
-The bugs swimming through the humidity make an evening run both a workout and a protein shake all in one.
-You complain with everyone else but secretly feel proud each fall for surviving yet another Texas summer.
