I've heard this, Barny; and I've experienced this during the years I lived in north Texas....Dallas, Grapevine, Keller, Plano....water conservation, high water bills, high electric bills for AC......tough summers there. I remember the sensation of the air being sucked out of one's lungs when one stepped outside in August.

My shop on Plano Parkway faced due west and the door opening and closing was a killer. I finally had to block all the front windows with the tall fabric cases to help with heat control. Lowered the AC bills by nearly $300 a month!

I feel for you all! But it feels like an Amazon rain forest here this year, it's so green and over grown.
