Oh man that must have been scary. Aren't those snakes really really poisonous?

As for the A/C...I could not even consider going to Texas unless I knew that there was air conditioning. I have never felt heat like ya'll have there. Joseph's mom said that when she was a kid they went to the movies a lot, double features, because that was the only place that had A/C. The first time Joseph was going to take us to Texas, we were going to drive, and he got the vehicle extra insulated, the ceilings and such. We avoided touching the windows because you could get a serious burn from them. So I'm glad you got your A/C fixed. Otherwise you could come visit here for awhile.
