You Know It's Summer When.....

[Southern Breeze]

You know it's summer when . . .

~ The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.

~ The trees are whistling for the dogs.

~ 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 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 boiled eggs.

~ The cows are giving evaporated milk.

Feel free to add to the list.

Don't forget

~ You discover that the hood of your car replaces your grill at the cookout

~ You discover the soles of your shoes sticking to the road - because they are melting

~ You discover that everyone decides where they want to go based on how good their A/C is

~ You discover that the only way to reach the bottom of a can of beer while it is cold is to power-chug it

...you discover that you don't find any of these amusing, because they're all true (because you live in Phoenix, AZ - where I *have* had shoes stick to the asphalt, and I *have* made destination choices based on their air conditioning.

One summer, I was working door-to-door in a three-piece wool suit when it hit 122 degrees F on the official thermometers.

That's 50 degrees C for you metric folks, but in metric or Fahrenheit, it's too bloody hot to be out walking the streets in a three-piece wool suit.

You keep having to rescue the chickens because they keep trying to swim in the pond with the ducks.

You spray your black dog with the garden hose to cool her off and steam rises as the cool water hits her fur.

...Or you live in Tulsa, OK, where going outside in the months of July and August is considered a sign of clinical insanity...

[bubba]

when you go outside and keep a close watch out for bees, hornets and wasps.

[smaughazard]

...when you ALWAYS find a place to park on concrete if you want your motorcycle to remain upright (kickstands go through asphalt like a hot knife through butter).

...when going faster on the bike only makes you hotter.

...when you need sunscreen to walk form the porch to the mailbox.

...when the dog WANTS to take a bath.
