I was born and raised in Detroit. There's actually a town in Mich. called Hell. It was NOTHING like this. I thought I woke up on Mercury this am.

Can you imagine trying to keep a BB C-3 cool even with A/C? Just doesn't happen. As for the heat, it sucks and I'm a native Florida boy.

anything over 80 sucks big time. It was 93 with about the same humidity up here in Iowa a few days ago. I don't know how you people stand it down there.

It's tough for sure. There's no such thing as "getting used to it".

Default I use to live in New England...

borned and raised in Maine...where we only have two seasons...winter and the 4th of July!

Then on to O-H-10, where I had my formative years thrusted upon me and had to put up with raging hormones as a teen, hot summers and somewhat moderate winters.

After 5 years of that crap, on to West-By-God-Virginia (where we raise fast women and pretty horses)! From there I gratuated high school and probably one of the fewest in my class to graduate with a full set of teeth in my skull cave. Go figure! Summers were pretty temperate and mild...with winter taking bi-annual kick ass cold and tons of snow to other winters barely dropping a flake!

And then Oklahoma...my god...Oklahoma. From the word 'brutal' being applied to both summer and winter, I can only say one thing about that state...the best thing about it was seeing it in my rear view mirror (did youz guys know know that Oklahoma is the 8th wonder of the modern world?? Its the only hole ABOVE ground). And Texicans, those wonderful people south of the Okerhomer border, well, they explain it a different way..."Oklahoma might not be the end of the world, but you can see it from there!!

On to Delaware...

Then Kansas...same as Okerhomer, just spelled differently.

Florida...Thats why God put all this water around us...keep us cool when bitching about how hot it is! Florida (God's "waiting room") is just to damn cool to leave for any other reason than that I'll never have to see a snow flake again. If my northern relatives want me to visit, then they'll have to give me weather forecast based on the season and GPS positioning. Or...they can come down here anytime of the year. I tell people all the time..."the coldest day in Florida is usually the warmest compared to the rest of this (bankrupt) country! And one of my hardest decisions to make for the day is to decide whether or not to turn on the A/C...or...lower the top and roll down the windows in my Vette...from October thru February. Now that really pisses 'em off!

Go Bengals!!
