Sorry for my rant. When I worked at a union shop, I did my quota in 2 1/2 hours, but I kept working. The union told me to slow down. I've been bitter ever since! (it was only 40 years ago!)

My daughter has lived in Texas since 2009. She spent almost 3 years in the Midland/Odessa area. Desert=Dry Heat. She now lives in the Houston area. Ocean=Wet Heat. Of the two, Wet Heat is the worse. That's what ya get in Florida. High temps and high humidity.

Do 'they' ever get used to it? Yeah. Eventually. The rest spend lots of time indoors with the A/C running.

I went through boot camp in Orlando Florida.
No problem for me but some of those boys from the north weren't having any fun at all.

Sort of. We just know what to expect. I don't ride in the summer, I stick to the Kayak. It's not bad on/in the water. I would never move inland.

It was funny when the Republican National Convention was here in Tampa in August last year. Our hottest month. All those stuffy suits had sweat dripping off their chins! Funny.
