I've seen New Jersey too many times. Virginia would be good for you. Texas, unless near
Austin, might be too much for you.

Just don't complain about the heat, damit.

We don't even mention it until it's over 100 degrees for 30 days.
Then we can start braggin'!

I don't mind heat, long as it is a dry heat. It's that muggy damp
that killed me. "Its only 85 degrees. Humidity about 85% too." Kind
of weather to make you think it would be a good Idea to find a place
in the shade, and the breeze to set a spell. Say, till around sunset.


Sorry! My previous should have been more detailed.

I meant 100 degrees - that's all day long - midnight to midnight.
It warms up better during the day, but if it drops to 2 digits, you have
to start all over again...

I had the interesting experience of flying to East Texas in July,
into the middle of a heat wave (The Texans were saying "It's a bit on
the warm side, today.") - from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Now Buenos
Areas in July is not a bad place. Start of their winter, but not a
bad place, not cold like I was used to in Germany. (Ach! In zee Old
Country, ve had Vinter!!). But cold enough to make wool pants and
sweaters valuable. That was Hot. Hot and Muggy. Enervating.
Debilitating. Did I mention Hot?
From there we drove, in a fifteen year old Ford with only the WD50
air conditioning, to El Paso and on to Tucson. Nice drive.




The sea breezes off the gulf can make it as far as San Antonio in the evenings.
That often runs the summer humidity up to unity.

Gaaah.

I've friends here in Seattle who moved up from Beaumont, years
ago. They'd go back now and then to visit, usually during Christmas
time. She'd always ask her husband "Why don't we move back, it's not
so bad?" Then she took a road trip of her own one summer. Got back
to Beaumont for a month towards the end of July. Now she remembered
why they'd left, and why they really didn't want to go back.

I don't know what causes it to be so humid around Dallas.
Probably just yankee sweating?

We will drink no whiskey before its nine.
It's eight fifty eight. Close enough!
