It’s Summertime and Time to Get off the Couch

It’s Summertime and Time to Get off the Couch

It is summertime in Texas, and you know you are going to see triple-digit temperatures. It may seem like it’s too hot to get outside and do anything, but it’s actually the perfect time. Kids are out of school and probably been cooped up in the house all day over summer break. Their pent-up energy is the perfect motivator to get you out and about on the weekends or on your days off. Although, it is very hot there are still many things you can do to get yourself up and out of the house but not died of heat stroke.

Outside Activities to Do with the Family

So, what family-friendly outside activities can you do when the weather is excruciatingly hot? There are many water activities that the kids will enjoy and help to take away some of the heat. Buy a season pass to a waterpark, cookout at the lake and swim, set up a homemade slip and slide in the backyard, or go canoeing down the Brazos River. All these water activities will help keep you cool in hundred-degree temperatures. If water activities are not your thing, then maybe think about planning a camping trip for you and your family. You can always find shady places to keep cool during the middle of the day and once the sun goes down the heat level decreases and you can focus on campfire cooking and fun activities around the campsite for you and your family. You could also consider hiking, and as long as you go at a relatively slow pace, you won’t overdo it in this heat.

Whatever it is that you decide to do this summer, it is important to just get out of the house, off the couch, and out from in front of the television.

Fortunately, this type of mindset is falling by the wayside as the new millennial generation is growing.

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen Since the 80s and through the 90s, movies involving car dealerships shined a negative light on car salesmen and painted a stereotypical picture. These comedic characters came off as shady, sleazy, pushy, and willing to do anything to make the sale. The News Wheel has listed the Top 5 Worst Car Salesmen from Movies and they're some pretty bad ones. Here are my three favorites from the list. Rudy Russo from the 1980 film Used Cars . A young Kurt Russell portrays Rudy Russo, a state Senate hopeful. In order to get a $10,000 campaign investment from used car lot owner Luke Fuchs, Rudy must help him sell some cars to keep his business up and running. While doing so, Rudy uses standard stereotypical used car salesmen techniques like cheesy commercials, fast-talking, and pressure selling. He even baits a customer from a competing lot by using a $10 bill on a fishing line to get the man to cross the street. Joey O’Brien from Cadillac Man . The ...
