    Texas is that feeling when you open the oven door to check on your cookies and burn your face, and there are no cookies and you can't get the oven door to close.

    That doesn't sound pleasant at all! I hope you have a big pitcher of ice tea on hand. With lots of lemon.

    In 1975, after completing boot camp in Louisiana, I was transferred to San Antonio (Fort Sam Houston) for medic training. There were delays, so I was there for six months. It was quite an adventure for me, never having left the Midwest before.

    In recent years I've had several trips to the medical center in Houston. I enjoyed walking around there and visiting lots of restaurants and museums. However, two of the trips were cancelled due to hurricanes.

    That's about all of my Texas experience.

    Hope you can keep from overheating!

    OK, that settles it! I'll stay here in our coldest-summer-in-58-years weather. Sorry I laughed at your description, but I couldn't help it.

    I’ll never forget how big the skeeters were in Texas and they would chase you down… I was there for a visit and came back home itchen from skeeter bites for months.
    But Texas has the cutest stick bugs … some are pets for kids..

    With the heat wave we had up north recently, I've been thinking about what it must be like to live in Texas.
