Didn't George Bush come from Texas?

A Texan transplant:
May 30th
Just moved to Texas. Now this is a state that knows how to live!! Beautiful
sunny days and warm balmy evenings. Mountains and deserts blended together.
What a place! Watched the sunset from a park lying on a blanket. It was
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 every day like this. I'm turning into a real 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 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 a dry heat. Getting used to it is taking
longer than I expected.
July 15th
Fell asleep by the pool. (Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body.) Missed
two 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.

I missed Tabby (our cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By
the time I got out to the hot car for lunch, Tabby had swollen up to the size
of a shopping bag and exploded all over $2,000 worth of leather upholstery.
I told the kids she ran away. The car now smells like Kibbles and sh*t. No
more pets in this heat!
July 25th
Dry heat, my a**. Hot is hot!! The home air-conditioner is on the
fritz and AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed
to order parts.
July 30th
Been sleeping outside by the pool for three nights now. $1,500 in damn house
payments and we can't even go inside. Why did I ever come here?
Aug 4th
115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and
gets the temperature down to about 90. Stupid repairman pi**ed in my pool.
I hate this state.
Aug 8th
If another wise a** cracks, "Hot enough for you today?", I'm going to tear
his throat out. Damn heat. By the time I get to work the radiator is
boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like Roasted Garfield!!
Aug 10th
The weather report might as well be a damn recording: Hot and sunny. It's
been too hot to #@*& for two damn months and the weatherman says it might
really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this barren damn desert??
Water rationing has been in effect all summer, so $1,700 worth of cactus just
dried up and blew into the pool. Even a cactus can't live in this
heat.

Welcome to Hell!!! Temperature got to 123 today. Forgot to crack the window
and blew the windshield out of the Lincoln. The installer came to fix
it and said, "Hot enough for you today?" My wife had to spend the $1,500
house payment to bail me out of jail.
Aug 30th
Worst day of the damn summer. I'm not leaving the house. The monsoon
rains finally came and all they did is to make it muggier than hell. The
Lincoln is now floating somewhere in Mexico with its new $500 windshield.
That does it, we're moving to Ohio for some peace and quiet. -

As a Native Son of the Lone Star State, I reject your suggestions as rubbish. Don?t mess with Texas!

And the TEXANS heart you, too!
People think Texas is one big desert, but it's just so funny. Here in Central Texas it's all trees and hills, and in East Texas, nothing but pine trees. It's like so different in all the parts of the state.
