I received this in an email today. I'm not sure I agree with all of them, but...

You know it's Summer in Oz 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 35 degrees (Celcius) and you feel a little chilly.
* You discover that in February 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 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 has 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.
* Your best friends in summer just happen to have air conditioning or a pool
* You remind yourself for the nth year in a row to buy a new car that has airconditioning
* You sleep more often in your back yard than you do in your house
* You think living in Antarctica can't be that bad
