Hey, y'all Texans. During your Super Summer season, how's the humidity? Here in Jax it doesn't get up that hot, but it gets to 90%-95% humidity, which is unbearable. Chicago get's hotter, but this humidity is like being smacked in the chest with a baseball bat when you walk out the door. I've been in high heats in Colorado, but it was a dry heat, and you didn't notice.

You will of course want to have fun just like real Texans do. You'll need to buy a big, fast car. Take that car out and by you a six pack of tall boys. Drink 'em down real fast, then take your car out on the highway and put the petal to the metal. Drive that thing 30 miles/hour over the speed limit until you see a car with flashing lights behind you. You gotta realise that these Texas Poe-lease like a challenge, so you should let 'em chase you for at least ten miles before pulling over. When you pull over let one of 'em come up to your window. You should roll it down, wave at the man and shout: "Hey thar, Dep'ity Dawg! Is y'all got a problem?", then take off and let 'em chase you for another mile or two. When they finally stop you this time you are in for some good ol' fashioned Texas Ranger fun!!!! Yessah, y'all surely are.

I don;t think that's a good idea Strangelove.

I remember opne of my acquintances was over there (somewhere in the US) she was driving and a police car flashed the lights and wanted her to stop.

she stopped and the policeman came to her and pulled his weapon at her face asking for her driving licence etc

she came back in shock!

I will either stop at first sign or never stop.

The putting the gun in the face they don't do to citizens, only foreigners.

If you do like I tell you they won't put a gun in your face, well, at least that's not the only thing they'll do.

and how did he know she was a foreigner? the car had american plates.

do they do that often? she felt she was going to die the poor thing! and from a law enforcment officer no less.
sorry strange but that was a disgrace.

unless there's something she did that she's not telling me.

and that was a girl that when a thief entered her car with a gun (while she was in it) she screamed so loud she made him flee.

in the end and using the greek daemonium she ended up having a chat with the cop. he was amazed that he was talking to a greek person FROM greece. he was propably under the impression that the whole place sunk along with atlantis in the middle ages.

he thought he was talking with persefone or pythia or something.

No problem! I'm the music festival queen so when are you coming to Texas and where? And of course if you love music then you have to come to Austin where we are known as "the live music capitol of the world!" Our 6th Street is infamous.

Stevie Ray Vaughn My Hero. I have a Stevie Ray memorial in my house with several pictures from back stage one awesome one of him just sitting on a speaker warming up. I have the Austin City Limits Tape and two others including a concert in Japan that he did plus several autographs. Almost had one of his gutiars but....alas it was not to be. I go place a Yellow Rose at his statue every year on August 27.

Another Blues man that did Austin City Limits is Buddy Guy. He did one about three years ago. If you ever have a chance to see that one it's really good to. You should watch the band behind him as well.....Storyville, they have an awesome singer who is an albino african american and can sing like you wouldn't believe.

It's not bad at all, in Dallas, at the moment.
Won't be long before it's 105 degrees and 90% humidity.
The humidity, and wind, makes it colder in winter here than most people realize.

I've lived here all my life, and I melt.

In 1980 when my daughter was being carried, it was 69 days straight with temperatures over 100. My poor (ex)wife.
Which is the reason we named the daughter Summer.

Sounds like the same sh!t Sydneysiders crap on about

Sure, 30 degrees C humid is worse than 30 degrees C dry, but it's a walk in the park compared to 50 degrees dry! I lived in an outback Aussie town where the temperatures pushed 50 (120F!) in the shade!! We used to do the burn test to see whether it was safe to go outside, and to put your whole body outside all at once was courting disaster! If your exposed arm experienced instant pain, you stayed inside

Just to prove it wasn't just me, i have lived in Sydney for 15 years and Sydney humidity is not all it's cracked up to be. After all, tropical islands are humid, aren't they? If humidity is so bad, why does everyone go there?!

The worst part about living in the outback was that the expected drop in nightime temperatures didn't come, and sweltering sleepless nights were for weeks on end. Ah, what i would have given in those days for a tiny breeze!

Right there with ya' Sloww.

My middle daughter was born on August 27th. We lived in Wichita Falls which has no trees, nothing but flat lands and horrible heat. Ok.......maybe not the best mental picture but I used to get three floor fans and strip down to hardly nothing and just sit there in front of the fans and not move. I was miserable!

If your not used to it the humidity can be rough here.
