Thankfully you lost me on your list, but I do like a cold Shiner Bock.
Isis - NYC is my second home. We lived there a long time. I should have posted the link to the Shiner Song. I posted it last year - I'll find it and put it up again in the next week or two.
Christine - To know us is to love us ... LOL!
Alex - Awwww...it's fun!
L.G. - You'd "hot to death" in jeans and boots now. We're still hitting 100s in the afternoons. Bring shorts and flip-flops.
LR - Anytime. We're friendly :)
Summer - Well, it IS Texas I'm talking about!
Manzanita@Wannabuyaduck
Stephen - Like the ads say...Texas - It's like a whole other country. For real.
Manzanita - No video. Fell on my butt once doing the polka though :)
Elizabeth - It's definitely endless this year. It got hot in late March and we're still going strong.
I also wanted to let you know I have an award for you at my blog. Happy weekend to you!

I hope you haven't been too drastically affected by the fires--they are so devastating. Stay safe!
Mason - Very dry heat this year for sure. Our humidity has been in the teens the past couple of weeks.
Hart - We've had haze, but that's all. The Bastrop Fire was/is really bad. The closest one to us was maybe 5-10 miles away, and it was a small one.
Clarissa - Cool!
Laura - Oh well...you can be an honorary Texan on a case-by-case basis.
Montreal requires a different fashion style besides jeans and cowboy boots...and summers, ha! that's number ONE in our wish list ;)
Please explain 8, 5, 4, and 3. :)
Jennifer - Pat Green is a Texas Country musician. Gruene Hall is a Texas Dancehall. And Shiner Bock is a Texas beer brewed in Shiner, Texas. To fully explain the whole UT/TAMU thing, we'd need to go to Gruene Hall, listen to Pat Green, and enjoy some Shiner Bock to make the whole experience come alive for you.
I lived in El Paso for a year and a half in the mid-80s, so I understood most of your list, but not all of them. Thanks for explaining them in your comments.

Have a beautiful Texan weekend, dear x
Talei - I will. Enjoy London!
We didn't have time to hunt for boots but next time I will do better research and have a place picked out to shop.
Hugs!

Laura - www.patgreen.com and click on music. Lots of albums with lots of selections you can sample.
Tami - Yea! Email me if you're going to be in the San Antonio/Austin area. Maybe we can meet for lunch/coffee/a drink.
