YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN GEORGIA IN AUGUST WHEN. . .

The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out
of the ground.

The trees are whistling for the dogs.

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

Hot water now comes out of both taps.

You can make sun tea instantly.
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 in AUGUST it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.

You discover that you can get sunburned through your
car window.

You actually burn your hand opening the car door.

You break into a sweat the instant you step outside
at 7:30 a.m.

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

You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.

The potatoes cook underground, s o all you have to do is pull one out and
add butter, salt and pepper.

Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying
boiled eggs.

The cows are giving evaporated milk.

Ah, what a place to call home. . God Bless and Keep Cool!

My Electric bill has doubled :(

And, you have to keep rotating the fingers so those 2 don't get burns.

Growing up in West Texas I was always amazed that my sister and others could walk barefoot across the asphalt with no discomfort. Even tho they were leaving footprints in the asphalt. And, that our mother would kill her if she forgot to clean the bottom of her feet before she came in the house.
 
That dang seatbelt clickey thing has BRANDED me more than once and Hubby said "WHAT THE HEY HAPPENED", and I have to park outside!
 
i can't get in my truck if it's been sitting in direct heat for more than an hour. every daggum thing on the truck is metal, except the steering wheel, and you DO NOT want to touch that thing...theres more substances on that thing than can be identified...
 
Fortunately at work I park directly under this huge old oak tree. I can leave the sun roof cracked (I'm actually afraid the squirrels will get in and have a heyday) and I don't have any problems with the heat. It's at least 10 degrees cooler under this tree. It also provides some protection when it rains giving me time to go out and close up the roof. Now it is a small walk but to me its worth it.

BP, do you have a sunroof deflector? I see them alot, serve similar purpose as the ones for regular windows.

Yeah, I do. I open the roof as far as the edge of the deflector. But, I know a squirrel could get in if he wanted. There's almost a 3 inch gap between the deflector and the roof. I'll take that chance tho to avoid the heat.
 
I wouln't worry about the squirrels too much...heck if they're in there for more than a few minutes you'll have yourself a free snack for the ride home!

mmmmm...fresh baked squirrel fritters! mmmmm...
