The heat in Lubbock commits some pretty horrific offenses each summer. Yet, somehow, it always gets away with it…

I think it’s about time we press charges.

This one is a given.

That thing has the power of a cattle brand in the summer.

Ever leave a cheap pair of sunglasses on your dash?

All that time stuck indoors, avoiding the sun, must be worth some financial compensation. Mama needs a new swimming pool!

The sun just won’t give up. It follows you. There is simply no escaping it. Find a piece of shade? Won’t last long. Just you wait. The sun will find you again.

The verdict is more than obvious. The Lubbock heat has been found guilty on all counts and sentenced to three straight days in the low 80s, accompanied by a light breeze, cloudy skies, and just enough rain to make the city smell nice. Not enough to flood the road.

That’s justice, as far as I’m concerned.

(I was going to go with the death penalty, so the weather is really getting off pretty easy…)
