Houston: Where the Pavement Melts and Your Sanity Follows
Houston, Texas: A city where the summers are so hot, you could fry an egg on the sidewalk (if you weren't too lazy to get up). Welcome to the inferno, population: you.
It's Not Just Hot, It's Houston Hot
Let's talk about humidity. It's like walking into a sauna with a steam room attached. You're sweating before you even step outside. Your hair becomes a frizz-fest, makeup is a lost cause, and your clothes are permanently damp. It's a fashion statement, right?
