YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN TEXAS WHEN. . .

You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water. . .

You can say 110 degrees without fainting. . .

You eat hot chili to cool your mouth off. . .

You can make sun tea instantly. . .

You learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron. . .

You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car.

You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance. . .

Hotter water comes from the cold water tap. . .

It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out in the streets. . .

You actually burn your hand opening the car door. . .

No one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car.

Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and lay on the pavement and cook to death"?

You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
