And I'm not talking about one of Laurie's books!

I remember when it used to be "gross" to sweat, you'd get a little damp under the arms or your feet would sweat.

I remember when seeing sweat spots on someone from the gym made you think they were working really hard.

I remember being in death valley/Vegas at 126 degrees and thinking it wasn't too bad.

Then I moved to this lovely, lush and tropical climate. It redefined "hot" and where and how much one can perspire.

I can tell you it tickles when it runs down your scalp, gathers on your eyebrows and makes a puddle on the ground, joining the puddle made by the horse you're trimming.

I can attest that 30 minutes of working outside will leave no dry piece of clothing on your body. Not your undies, not your shorts/socks/shoes (it runs down your legs and puddles), and certainly not your bra, shirt or gloves! And my does it ever tickle on it's way down from the your top half! We're not talking damp here ladies, dress yourself and step in the shower for five minutes.

Then you've got to come in and peel it off, hear it splat as it hits the floor then towel dry yourself before putting on dry clothing

But I digress, the winters here are lovely!

I was cleaning the chins this morning, wheelbarrowing the shavings out was unusually difficult. So I looked at the temp, pictured below. I can deal with 95 degrees, but this is 95 degrees southern style. :cool:

Wow. Um... I'd die. It's 87 here, and I need to get moving and on my way to set up the cookout we're having today. I need to take some stuff to my car, bring some stuff back in the house... the cookout's not for like 4 hours, but if we don't get started now, someone else will take the grill. I DREAD going out there, even to run to the car and back, much less the cookout! and it's only 87... like ACTUALLY 87. I don't know HOW you do it. I'd be a puddle of dead.
 
Yeah, I really don't like hot and balmy weather. Unfortunately, we've had a record setting summer here in VA. Heat index of up to 120 degrees a couple of weeks ago! That hasn't happened here in decades. Makes me really wish I had a swimming pool!
 
Wow, that is hot. It's not so bad haha with a swimming pool. I could never live in those humid states though, like I can stand the heat, but it has to be dry heat. When I've soaked through every layer of my clothes, it's just.. ick. I'd be ok in like Nevada or somewhere that has more of the dry heat though...

The funny thing is... 87 outside doesn't feel so bad when I sit and think of a heat index of 120!
 
Haha yeah it has been ridiculously hot down here. I was born in Puerto Rico and thought that was some tropical weather there but it NEVER got this hot over there. Maybe 100 degrees every now and then but that was rare. I guess the winters make up for it if you like cold weather but I don't hahaha, I miss the more toned down tropical weather in PR. Oh well.
 
Its 58 degrees right now at 12:00pm here in Sunnyvale, cloudy and misty, we have not seen any temps above 73 in a couple of months, I personally dig it!
 
Tara, it's been like that here for the last month. You can't walk from the car to the house without sweat running down your face and your glasses fogging. My windows to my house are completely fogged over from the heat outside hitting the a/c inside. The other day we were 89 degrees with 91% humidity. It's been hovering around that for the last 2 weeks.

Once again, and with feeling, I hate summer.
 
I know your pain Tara. Yay for southern summers. BLECH. It's 11:39pm right now, and the heat index is 95!

I think it's everywhere. Even here in Wisconsin this week the heat index was up in the 100's. It was horrible. If I wanted that heat I'd move south. I like my winters.
 
I live in the south too and have a pool. It was a nice and cool 92 yesterday ;P
 
I'm in the Pacific NW where it is usually mild, both winter and summer, but it was in the 90's today which is quite hot for us. I think Seattle's temp recorded at 95 degrees, a new high for them. I thought it was great that we had our family reunion today, in the sun and not the rain, but shade didn't provide any relief from 90 degree weather! I like hot, but not that hot. I don't know how people are able to function in higher temps!
