Well, it's a bit obvious when it is summer in Houston. I know its summer when I feel like stripping down to underneath my skin just to feel "bearable".
Where are all the kids during summer? I used to play outside from sun up til nightfall, and these days you'd be lucky to run over one with your car! Is there something I don't know?

psst,Jack, check your email.
Ever heard of Gameboy? Sad but true, I imagine.
Mamorial Day (last Monday in May) is supposed to be the traditional start of summer around here and it actually worked out that way this year. Lows of around 40°F (5°C) the week before, then nice sunny toasty weather (85°F) by the time Memorial Day rolled around. :)
I recall when I was young and in college, around final exam time the weather got nice and the honeys started wearing provocative clothing. Maybe they still do but I don't notice those things anymore.
