There’s a place in Austin, it’s called Barton Springs. Even on these blistering hot days (temps in the 100s) the damn water is ice cold. You leap into this pool at your own risk because you’re going from air that’s around 105 degrees into water that’s about 68 degrees. It may not seem so bad to you folks up in the snow belt but try it some time. I know for sure that my heart can’t take it – not like it could when I was younger. Instead, my heart is definitely open to this Lone Star flavored refreshment:
