Second hottest summer on the record books in Dallas.

The earth here has a lot of clay in it. When the heat builds
up and things dry out, there are a lots of cracks that form
in the top soil.

It's been so hot and so dry for so long, that there are cracks
in my yard that are so wide and so deep, that if you were
to drop a penny down one of 'em, it would melt before
it hit bottom.
