I live about 30-40 miles for san saba. The weather here in central texas is HOT , but I like hot. It's when it's humid and 113 outside that it just gets miserable. I like to walk for exercise and belive me in the summer you carry a frozen bottle of water because it melts fast enough that you can keep sipping and not faint. If your a New Englander your going to be dying until you get used to it. My husband works for a man from Main he's been here over 30 years and now loves our mild texas winters and has gotten used to our summers. Texas is diffenently a State of mind, but it's home.

Another thing about Central Texas in the summer time. It's often that the evenings cool down to about 90 and when its been 105-109 outside 90 feels great. If you come to Texas just buy some good deoderant and get used to it. After multiple days in the triple digits a cool front not cold will move in and the temp dip down into the very high 80's low 90's. Thats when people will come out by the dozens to play in the park, fly kites, ride bicycles.
Its So Hot in Texas. . .

the birds have to use pot holders to pull worms out of the ground.

the potatoes cook underground and all you have to do to have lunch is to pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper.

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

Its So Dry in Texas. . .

the cows are giving evaporated milk.

the trees are whistlin' for the dogs.

a sad Texan once prayed, "I wish it would rain. Not so much for me, 'cuz I've seen it -- but for my 7-year-old."

The 'official' high for two days in a row was 113 but I saw 116 on a thermometer on the TI campus. 1980 was horrible and no one is stretching the truth.
