You Know You Are in Florida in the Summertime When...
I found this on a floppy disk while cleaning out my desk (no, I don't have an ancient computer only an external floppy drive!)
You know you are in FLORIDA during the summertime when:
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 streets can have a liquid state.
The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
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 hard-boiled eggs.
The cows are giving evaporated milk.
The trees are whistling for the dogs.
Sorry - I copied that.

I've lived here for 35 years. None of this is true, but it is funny. Must be because you live on the east coast (Ug!)

I live on the West Coast in Ft Myers. Between Tampa and Naples. Love it.

I love living here too, as noted, I only found the quips, didn't write them, found them funny. Same goes for the jokes made about Florida voters! LOL
Good one, and those are the reasons we like to give out our winter weather reports to our northern friends during the winter. Air conditioning to us in the summer is like heating to them in the winter, totally necessary. Before A/C Florida was a total wilderness(but probably great for photography, albeit with a giant view camera like Clyde Butcher still uses in the everglades.
That works in the Phoenix, AZ area too, all too well.
