Dallas 2023: A Summer of Sizzle, Sweat, and Probably Some Steaks on the Barbeque
Ah, Dallas in 2023. A year where the sun decided to take up permanent residence and the thermostat became a decorative relic on the wall. You know things are rough when the ice cream truck driver starts offering free popsicles with every purchase...just to keep the little ones from melting.

- Local swimming pools were renamed "Urban Oases" and admission prices skyrocketed.
- The only things hotter than the temperature were the deals on sunscreen.
- The saying "It's not the heat, it's the humidity" was banned from polite conversation. It was simply too cruel.
A Toast to Survival (with Non-Alcoholic Beverages, Because Let's Be Honest, We're All Dehydrated)
Here's to surviving another Dallas summer! We made it through the sweat, the scorching sidewalks, and the never-ending air conditioning bills. We emerged stronger, tanner, and maybe a little bit saltier. But hey, at least we have a good story to tell (and maybe a newfound appreciation for air conditioning).
