You know you are in Texas during the summertime when: 
         
* The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance. 

* Hot water now comes out of both taps. 

* You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron. 

* 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. 

* You realize that asphalt has a liquid state. 

* The birds have to use pot holders to pull worms out of the ground. 

* The trees are whistling for the dogs.
