IT’S AUGUST IN FLORIDA WHEN…

Florida

    • The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.

  • Hot water now comes out of both taps.
  • You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron!
  • The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly.
  • You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window. (Been there, done that!)
  • You actually burn your hand opening the car door. (Yup, that too!)
  • You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
  • The trees are whistling for the dogs.
  • You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
  • The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
  • Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.


    • Ah, what a place to call home.
