Well, fellows (especially Jerry who lives up there) and Shooter Tom who moved there---we know all about this don't we?

 

 

 

NEW TEXAN'S DIARY

 

May 30th:

Just moved to Dallas, Texas.

Now this is a city that knows how to live!!

Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place!

I 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 everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshiper.

 

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 and humidity is taking longer that I expected.

 

July 15th:

Fell asleep by the 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 Morgan (our cat) sneaking into the car when I left this

morning. By the time I got to the hot car for lunch, Morgan had died

and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and stank up the $2,000

leather

upholstery. I told the kids that she ran away The car now smells like

Kibbles and shits. I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this

heat.

 

July 25th:

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

hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is not working and the 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 3 nights now. $1,500 in damn

house payments and we can't even go inside. 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, but this freaking humidity

makes the house feel like it's about 95. Stupid repairman. I hate this

stupid city.

 

Aug. 8th:

If another wise ass asks, "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 sat on the black

leather seats in the ol' car. I thought my ass was on fire. 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 ###### for 2 damn

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

Doesn't it ever rain in this damn desert? Water rationing now, so my

$1700 worth of cactus just dried up and blew into the damn pool.

Even the cactus can't live in this damn heat.

 

Aug. 14th:

Welcome to HELL!!! Temperature got to 115 today. Forgot to crack the

window and blew the damn windshield out of the car. The installer came

to fix it and said, "Hot enough for you today?" My wife had to spend the

 

$1500 house payment to bail me out of jail.

 

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

here..
