Why Texas? Part One.
If I had a dollar for every time I have been asked “Why Texas?” I would be on a white sand beach in the Carribean being waited on by bronzed hunky waiters instead of …
…ok…
… you’re right. But I would have a few extra dollars jingling and jangling around in my pocket. Which is why I have been thinking of blogging our reasons for a while.
Today was the perfect day to start. Because today was the day the UK’s Daily Telegraph came up with this:
I shouldn’t really need to say more but just in case some of you are a little slow (or, much more likely, have been drinking), I should point out that today in my neighborhood the temperature reached 95 degrees (35 for you celcius folk) and school isn’t even out yet for summer.
Hold that next thought. We have air conditioning. And when the sun streams in the windows? It’s nice.

That is awesome. My husband travels to the UK for business all the time. I showed him this post, and he said, “I wouldn’t want to be there to see all that pasty white skin!”.

Ooooh! 80! That IS hot. Wow. Like, maybe even a droplet of sweat or something…
Ah, Texas. Never been there. Is it as humid as Illinois gets in the summer? We get some really lovely, thick air due to the valley area of the Chicago Suburbs. It’s great. Especially in tornado season. And ESPECIALLY when you can’t afford the air conditioning this year! Can’t wait.

95 degrees? What are we roasting?

Kari: your husband is wise.
Tracey: Very humid. You don’t want to have my hair. Unless you prefer afros.
Marinka: Jealous?

Here in Austin it’s been a very mild 97 degrees lately. After living here 10 years, that’s nothing.
