No offense, but Texas weather is so %#* hot and humid I about died from drowning in my own sweat when there. It was like being on the scorched surface of Venus, except with dripping humidity.

That's why air conditioning was invented. Up until I was in the 6th grade our schools had no a/c. I can remember coming in from recess and pushing/shoving to get to be front and center in front of the big fan.

I've become acclimated now and used to count the days until fall when I lived there. You learn to not sit on car seats right after you open the car door because it feels like strips of your skin are going to be left on the seat. Touching the steering wheel, need another towel. Covered parking places were coveted.

There's still no place like Texas. Maybe part of it is a state of mind.

Unfortunately AC doesn't work too well outdoors.

Or it's hot humid weather.

Your school had a fan? You big sissy!

You also learn that asphalt has a liquid phase.

You also understand why buzzards carry a lunch-box.
