Any DFW area dopers enjoy the cool weather we had last night? It got all the way down to 80! I had to sleep with a sheet on the bed.
Now that I think about it, MachV, it was pretty cool when I woke up this morning. My A/C is set to drop to 72 F at 6:00 a.m (I wake up at 6:30), but I usually wake up sweating anyway.
Isn’t it obvious! It’s a hot evening, you go to bed with the air running. Once you’re in bed, the air kicks in and it gets chilly; so the arms go under the covers for warmth…

You know you are in Texas in the summer when…

Just don’t go to Thule. Trust me–I hate the heat and love the cold more than anyone else I know, and I still say it isn’t worth it.

Ha, yesterday my poor best friend came over. Her car was overheating and the only thing that helps apparently is having the heater on – full blast. So she drove through Houston, in July, with her car heater on. Thank God her windows roll down!
The milk spoils in the car on the way home from the grocery six minutes from the house unless you take a cooler and purchase ice to get the cold things home before they spoil.
You have to stop leaving your sunglasses on the clip on the car visor, because they’re so hot they burn your nose when you put them on if you left them in the car.
You take a towel to drape over your arm to prevent a sunburn on your window side are when driving from Houston to Dallas.
You end up using towel mentioned above to touch steering wheel, because steering wheel is too hot to touch.
