How hot is it where you are?  Let’s take a poll :

  • The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
  • Hot water now comes out of both taps.
  • You can make instant sun tea.
  • You learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron.
  • The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a bit chilly.
  • You discover that in July it takes only two fingers to drive your car.
  • You discover that you can get sunburn through your car window.
  • You break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 am before work.
  • The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
  • The potatoes cook underground and all you have to do to have lunch is to pull one out and add butter, salt, and pepper.
  • Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hardboiled eggs.
  • Cows are giving evaporated milk.
  • The trees are whistlin’ for the dogs.
  • It’s so hot even the fish are sweating…..(Thanks, Ruth!)
  • It’s so hot, I saw the cat take off her coat. (Thanks, Ellen!)
