Hot Hot HOT!
Now that we're nearing Autumn, we've reached temperatures we call "cooling off"
-- but if you're from the Northern Hemisphere's so-called temperate zone, how are you handling the weather here? Here
are some quotes on what the weather's like here in Austin TX: US General Philip Sheridan, when stationed in the area
during the Reconstruction period after the Civil War, is famous for saying "If I owned Texas and Hell, I'd rent
out Texas and live in Hell." A recent Twitter request to finish the question "Austin's hot as...?"
brought: "-- a check from Bernie Madoff!" "-- two rats f#*$ing in a wool sock!" "-- the hinges on the door to
Hell!" "-- a Texas mom when her daughter fails her cheerleading tryout!" "-- a fire ant mound out by the curb!" "-- the devil's
armpit!" "--grandma's biscuits! (or tamales!)" "--fish grease! (I don't get that one)" "--a laid
off worker's temper as they update their resume!" And my favorite: "It's so hot in Austin, I saw
two trees fighting over a dog!" But there's another Texas saying that's supposed to be reassuring: "If
you don't like the weather here, just wait a minute."
Go from Wookie to Woo Hoo!

I live in ATX--not the hottest
summer climate in the world, but at about the same latitude as Cairo Egypt, it's as close to hot as I want to come.
My first year, I got a sunburn in February. Most of the time, you learn to tolerate the heat & embrace the sunshine,
but the summer heatwave in 2011 was pretty much unbearable outdoors during the daytime, though many continued working
and exercising in the 100-degree +temps. There are fountains & misting stations around town & on the Hike
& Bike Trails. I coped by becoming an air-conditioning vampire from late June until mid-October. When the sun set, the
temps rapidly come down & with the cooling nightbreezes, people like me come to life. And the winters are glorious for
transplanted Northerners like myself
Now that we're enjoying cooler weather, I remembered a little piece of doggerel (batterel?) I wrote
one fall day a few years ago that I'd like to share with y'all.

Autumn in Austin
Leaves are still fluttering green
in the trees,
Daylight still tops the high
seventies.
Trees are still green and the sky
is still blue,
Night lows in high-thirties are rare
but a few.
Though all the bluebonnets have long
bloomed and gone,
The cactus and pricker weeds' growth
is still strong.
If we fnally get rain and
the blue skies turn gray,
A bad day in Austin is still a nice
day!
Beautiful butterflies migrate through
here
While some folk are drinking Oktoberfest
beer.
In Austin Texas, bugs don't quite
go away
But we know to use mousetraps to keep
'em at bay
But when haunted hayrides and ghost
hunts have begun,
Zombies and Chainsaws all add to the
fun,
Dia de los Muertos we'll soon celebrate,
With food, gifts and music and a skeleton
parade,
The A/C bills are lowering every day,
You finally can send the kids outdoors
to play!
Then, in Austin we know that the
time has now come
That makes the happiest and weirdest
of us feel glum:
Austin's growing bar scene is so much fun, and it pumps a lot of money into the
local economy. But DWI is a serious problem that costs lives, and requires the same local economy to spend money
to fund the Austin criminal justice system's efforts to keep the roads safe. Read an Op-Ed by an Austin Cab Driver.
