What he said.

I heard it’s pretty hot in Germany, 93F. Hardly any A/C there, that sucks.

I’m not sure if the heat yesterday or the BBQ I ate, but I feel like *****. Up all night making the mad dash to the head.

I honestly like these 100+ index days, they seperate the boys from the men.

I experienced your June gloom. I was shocked and could not wait to get back to Palm Springs and the nice 100 degree days. My blood runs thin. I am used to hot.


We were unprepared for the temps in Sandy Eggo when we visited. Ended up buying ill fitting sweat shirts and blankets while in town.

Filed under men from the boys.


It is not for the faint hearted, I work outside like Baz, I deal with it just fine.

I lived in Palm Bay from 85-92, Cape Canaveral from 92-83 then moved to West Palm from 93-95 and settled into Jensen Beach from 96 until now.

When I first moved from Long Island to here I was in shock, it took 2 years of surfing to acclimate me, now I am a honorary native.

At least the Humidity is not 100% yet. Then it gets real fun.

Sorry Baz! Didn't mean to derail your thread!

Lived in Orlando for 18 years so been there done that Yeah the humidity can be brutal it slaps you in the face coming from the AC . I've been in GA. now for about 9 years and while it can be brutal during the day in the summer it generally cools off enough at night to give some relief . Plus we are in the mountains so usually there is a breeze ............. every little bit helps

I forgot I lived in Orlando for 1 year, 1 year of hell on earth. It was insanely hot and still (no breeze) there, I had a temp job there with a telecommunications company. I was happy that contract was over and I was able to get back to the coast.

Orlando for 18 years? Sir, I bow down to you.

My introduction to Florida humidity was walking out of the office building and my glasses immediately fogging up.

Best position in baseball - very cool!!!

See what I did there

Maryland has had the most pleasant Spring early summer I can remember - which means a mess in the late Summer, Fall.
