In this Heat

Today is going to be just like yesterday, hot, hotter than that line in the June and Johnny Cash song, Hotter than a pepper sprout!...  OK, this is Texas and its July, its suppose to be HOT...  yesterday was the 17th day of record breaking heat here in Austin.  It was officially 105.  Today is suppose to be 105 or wait maybe 106.  The weatherman just sighed when he said that.

I hate to complain, but,  I know the but negates the meaning of the previous words, so maybe I do like to complain about the heat.  At any rate, yesterday when I got in my car after having a great refreshing time with my friend Betina Foreman (we had a cool rita at Chuy's and snacks)  my steering wheel was so hot I almost couldn't hold onto it.  

Can you imagine that people actually leave babies and pets in cars that get that hot? Are they crazy? or just stupid?  DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN, PETS or FOOD that is pershiable in a hot car. NOT FOR 2 minutes!

At any rate... in our heat folks you must stay hydrated.  Keep water in your car, sports drinks if you are outside exerting yourself, your body losses electrolytes quickly in this heat and that causes muscle cramps. 

Be kind to yourself and drink more water, OK, an occasional 'rita or cold one to cheer you up during this heat, the one thing we know is it won't last forever.   (and if this is a preview of Hell, I don't wanna go).

If you are searching for a new home in this heat let me help you.  Austin is a wonderful place to live and this heat will not last forever.  Shady Hollow is named for the shade trees and home searches in many areas are on tree lined cool streets, like Village at Western Oaks, Legend Oaks, Circle C ranch, many areas of South Austin or Dripping Springs, call me and let me help you find the right home at the right price. Do you need to buy a new home or sell your current home, I can help you.
