The heat in Lubbock commits some pretty horrific offenses each summer. Yet, somehow, it always gets away with it...

I think it's about time we press charges.

CRIMES THE LUBBOCK HEAT SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH

Attempted Murder

This one is a given.

Assault With A Deadly Seatbelt Buckle

That thing has the power of a cattle brand in the summer.

Destruction of Property

Ever leave a cheap pair of sunglasses on your dash?

False Imprisonment

Being cooped up inside, day after day, just to avoid the heat...when you really wanted to enjoy your patio.

Emotional Distress

All that time stuck indoors, avoiding the sun, must be worth some financial compensation. Mama needs a new swimming pool!

Grand Theft Electricity

The A/C is working overtime. Money is being siphoned directly from your wallet 24/7.

Harrassment

The sun just won't give up. It follows you. There is simply no escaping it. Find a piece of shade? Won't last long. Just you wait. The sun will find you again.

Conspiracy

Why does it suddenly feel 10 degrees hotter when you have to be somewhere important? I'M ONTO YOU, WEATHER!

The Sentence?

The verdict is more than obvious. The Lubbock heat has been found guilty on all counts and sentenced to three straight days in the low 80s, accompanied by a light breeze, cloudy skies, and just enough rain to make the city smell nice. Not enough to flood the road.

That's justice, as far as I'm concerned.

(I was going to go with the death penalty, so the weather is really getting off pretty easy...)
