Dear Diary,

June 13

Just moved to Texas ! Now this is a state that knows how to live!! Beautiful

Sunny days and warm balmy evenings. It is beautiful. I've finally found my

home. I love it here.

June 14th:

Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem.. Live in an

air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car.. What a pleasure to see

the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshipper.

June 30th:

Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus and

rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing the lawn for me. Another

scorcher today, but I love it here.

July 10th:

The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to

this kind of heat? At least, it's kind of windy though. But getting used to

the heat is taking longer than I expected.

July 15th:

Fell asleep by the community pool. (Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my

body). Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson

though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.

July 20th:

I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By

the time I got to the hot car at noon, Lomita had died and swollen up to

the size of a shopping bag, then popped like a water balloon. The car now

smells like Kibbles and Shits. I learned my lesson though. No more pets in

this heat. Good ol' Mr. Sun strikes again.

July 25th:

The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot as

hell. The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman charged

$200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts.

July 30th:

Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now, $225,000 house and I

can't even go inside. Lomita is the lucky one. why did I ever come here?

Aug. 4th:

It's 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500

and gets the temperature down to 85. I hate this stupid state.

Aug. 8th:

If another wise ass cracks, 'Hot enough for you today?' I'm going to

strangle him. Damn heat. By the time I get to work, the radiator is boiling

over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!!

Aug. 9th:

Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts, and when sat on the seats

in the car, I thought my ass was on fire. My skin melted to the seat. I lost

2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and ass . . . Now

my car smells like burnt hair, fried ass, and baked cat.

Aug 10th:

The weather report might as well be a damn recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and

sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do shit

for 2 damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week.

Doesn't it ever rain in this damn state? Water rationing will be next, so my

$1700 worth of cactus will just dry up and blow over. Even the cactus can't

live in this damn heat.

Aug. 14th:

Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 115 today. Cactus are dead.

Forgot to crack the window and blew the damn windshield out of the car. The

installer came to fix it and guess what he asked me??? "Hot enough for you

today?" My sister had to spend $1,500 to bail me out of jail.. Freaking

Texas . What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here??

Will write later to let you know how the trial goes

Have a fantastique day!

Welcome to Texas baby.Gotta love it here.Texas born and raised.Native Texan.So stick around and take your clothes off.Play naked in the rain.

Excellent--- could be the state of AZ in Phoenix as well! How I do so relate!

Rather than using the air conditioner (which depresses me somehow) at home when I was in Texas I would go around almost naked and take half minute showers every so often. Except for my roommates I actually had it good in Alamo Heights down from Terrell Heights practically overlooking a Luby's Cafeteria and across the street from a 24hr HEB grocery store in San Antonio. And then I could take the bus down Broadway to one of the zoos. There was the San Antonio Zoo and then there was downtown which was actually quite a bit more of a zoo. Come to think about it, it was all a zoo, I guess. Glad I'm here.

I spend 2 years in beautiful Lubbock Texas, where they get dust storms followed by rain, it rains mud. Nasty red clay gets into everything, yuck.

You know when I lived in California a guy from overseas asked me where Texas was, I told him go east tell you smell it then south tell you step in it.

Capt, Davy Crocker once asked me were I was from, I said California, he laughed and said the land of fruits and nuts. So I asked him where he was from, he said TEXAS, Oh, the land of steers and queers, where are your horns?

All kidding aside, I know some really good people that are from Texas. Our very own Yoli for one and Ramsey. I know there are more of you out there and before you hit me with bad/neg points remember this is the joke section and I no longer live in California, I live up here where the people cheer for the real Americas Team, The Packers.

I am a cheese head and you can be too, all you need is a cheese hat.

The real american team will always be the cowboys.Go Texas Go Cowboys and most of all Go Longhorns.I love the heat and I cant take the cold.Texas forever fo me.

I was born and raised in Texas and have a daughter and grandkids living there. Lot's of things I like about Texas, except I don't like the Texas heat or the Texas politics. Even my daughter has been tainted by the latter.

I spent three years in San Angelo, and three years in El Paso, I loved both places, I actually find it hard to decide which one I loved the most. Both places got HOT in the summer, and COLD in the winter. I also got to travel just for an oh so short time to San Antonio, and Corpus Christi. I really liked Corpus Christi.

Texas is a B-I-G place, and most people never could believe just how hot it can get, and then they just cannot ever believe how cold it can get. I have read that it is Arizona and Montana that are the states with the furthest extremes in hot and cold weather, that may be, but Texas runs a close third place I think.

Actually, Alaska might be the state with the widest temperature extremes. The temperature in Fairbanks, AK, can reach 105F in the summer and -65F in the winter, a 170 degree range.
