An oldie but a true-ey
You know you live in Arizona 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 July 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, so 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.
To which I add...
"Dry heat" ceases to make any difference whatsoever. After a certain point, it's just heat.
The opportunity to walk barefoot to get the newspaper ends at 6:15 a.m.
Dogs who are notorious for hating water (Gypsy) now beg to have the kiddie pool filled up.
Turning off the hot tub causes the water temperature to drop to a balmy 90 degrees.
More cars get stolen as the owner leaves the car running in the driveway to cool off for 20 minutes before attempting to drive it.
The electricity bill goes up to $380 a month because of the A/C.
Joggers are regarded by those passing by in air-conditioned vehicles as more crazy than usual.
You have to wait for the shower to cool off before getting into it.
The birds form an orderly line at the bird bath, and it needs to be refilled twice a day.
The "White Guy Burn Index" stands at a whopping three minutes.
Your sister gets to brag about the weather in Maine, instead of the other way around.

I'm surprised you guys aren't on "the budget" for your electric bill with hits like $380! Ouch!

Can't even imagine that... As a Michigan girl, when it gets to be in the high 80's I start looking forward to winter... Although we only get a good 2 months of summer-like weather a year.
