Guest guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 You know you're in Florida during the summertime when: The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance. Hot water now comes out of both taps. You can make sun tea instantly. You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron. The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly. You discover that in July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car. 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. Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, " What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death? " You realize that asphalt has a liquid state. The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground. The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt, and pepper. Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs. The cows are giving evaporated milk. The trees are whistling for the dogs. ------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Tess, thanks for the good laugh. :-) I’d love to be anywhere but in Florida right now. Feeling…hot, hot, hot!

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 Dear Tess - I'm laughing so hard, I'm crying. Boy can I relate. I grew up in Louisiana. Stayed inside all summer because the heat and humidity made me sick. Moved to Dallas - This year might as well be Louisiana. I am so misable during the summer. My hands and feet swell and hurt. I want to move somewhere that it is between 40 and 80 year round. We have been lucky this year because it hasn't been over 100 yet; they say the rain is over and the temps are going to be higher. The only advantage that I see to working nights is not having to be out in the sun and heat. P.S. What do you think that Cabana Boys do during the heat of the day? __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 We've been really lucky this year. A lot more rain which means a lot more humidity. Temp up today over 100 with the heat index. So I guess Summer is here; blessing that it is late. The thing I dislike about driving up north is that a lot of places are not able to handle the heat that comes for about 3 weeks. I don't like to go anywhere that there isn't airconditioning. I guess I'm lucky I wasn't born earlier due to being a heat wimp.
