Dear Diary, I just moved to Amarillo, Texas ! 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 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 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 is taking longer than I expected.

July 15th:
Fell asleep by the community 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 Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got to the hot car at noon, Lomita had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag, then popped like a water balloon. The car now smells like Kibbles and Shyts. I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat. Good ol' Mr. Sun strikes again.

July 25th:
The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the A C repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts.

July 30th:
Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now, $225,000 house and I can't even go inside. Lomita is the lucky one. Why did I ever come here?

Aug. 4th:
Its 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 85. I hate this stupid state.

Aug. 8th:
If another wise ass cracks, 'Hot enough for you today?' I'm going to strangle him. Dam 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 when I sat on the seats in the car, I thought my ass was on fire. My skin melted to the seat. 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 dam recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do shyt for 2 dam months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this dam state? Water rationing will be next, so my $1700 worth of cactus will just dry up and blow over. Even the cactus can't live in this dam heat.

Aug. 14th:
Welcome to HE$$! Temperature got to 115 today. Cactus’ are dead. Forgot to crack the window and blew the dam windshield out of the car. The installer came to fix it and guess what he asked me??? " Hot enough for you today?" My sister had to spend $1,500 to bail me out of jail. Freaking Texas. What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here?? Will write later to let you know how the trial goes…

That looks just like my diary from my 1st summer in Pheonix.....but it's a dry heat....yeah, it's a freakin' oven...

Send some of that our way... we've had 20F below average temps all spring and summer... we haven't even hit 90 and it's nearly august... alfalfa isn't growing worth a D&*n because it gets down in the 60's at night when it should be in the high 70's... haven't had 3 consecutive days of good weather yet, and the summers I like hit high 90's in may and continue that through september.

the cows haven't even finished shedding yet
