hi rose, couldn't help but think of you as i read this post: Message 14086898 Welcome To Texas May 30 Just moved to Texas. Now this is a state that knows how to live!!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. Mountains and deserts blend together. What a place! Watched the sunset from a park lying on a blanket. It was beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here June 14 Really heating up. Got to 100* today. Not a problem. Live in an air-conditioned home and drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I am turning into a real sun worshiper. June 30 Had the back yard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here. July 10 The temperature hasn't been below 100* all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least it is dry heat. Getting use to it is taking longer than expected. July 15 Fell asleep by the pool. (Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body.) Missed two days of work, what a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though: got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this. July 20 I missed Tabby (our cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got out to the hot car for lunch, Tabby had swollen up to be the size of a shopping bag and exploded all over $2000.00 worth of leather upholstery. I told the kids that she ran away. The car now smells like Kibbles and shit. No more pets in this heat. July 25 Dry @#$%^&* heat, my ass. Hot is hot!! The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman charged me $200.00 just to drive by and tell me he needs to order parts. July 30 Been sleeping outside by the pool for three nights now. $1500.00 in damn house payments and we can't even go inside. Why did I ever come here? Aug 4 105 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500.00 and gets the temperature down to about 90 degrees. Stupid repairman pissed in my pool. I hate this @#$% state. Aug 8 If another wise ass cracks, "Hot enough for you today?", I'm going to tear his #$%^&* throat out. Damn heat. By the time I get to work my radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like Roasted #$%^& Garfield!!! Aug 10 The weather report might as well be a damn recording: Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to #$%^& for two damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this barren damn desert?? Water rationing has been in effect all summer, so $1,700.00 worth of cactus just dried up and blew into the $%^& pool!! Even cactus can't live in this damn heat. Aug 14 Welcome to Hell!!!! Temperature got to 108 degrees today. Forgot to crack the window and blew the #$%^ windshield out of the Lincoln. The installer came to fix it and said "Hot enough for you today?" My wife had to spend the $1500.00 house payment to bail me out of jail. Aug 30 Worst day of the damn summer. I'm not leaving the house. The #$%^& monsoon rains finally came and all they did is to make it muggier than hell. The Lincoln is now floating somewhere in Mexico with it's new $500.00 windshield. That does it, we're moving to Ontario Canada
