Flu shots and Narcan What a squeaker! But at last we’ve managed to cross the finish line, folks: This record-scorcher summer of 2023 officially enters our rearview mirror on Sept.
23, the opening salvo of fall. Anybody feeling the relief yet? Somehow, every Texan appears to have reached the same uncomforting verdict: None of us can recall any summer ever being so relentlessly unforgiving as this one.
Even our native pecan trees are so dehydrated they’ve already dropped all their bounty — unripe, two months too early — solely in tradeoff just for survival.
Meanwhile, according to climate scientologists and their newest computer projection models, this July and August of 2023, globally being the two warmest months ever recorded in the history of mankind, will probably now be the mildest summer we’ll ever experience for the rest of our lives.
