Only 70% humidity Mel? Here in good ol Atlanta,GA 80% - 90 % is more the
norm during the last half of the summer months. And with temps in the 90
degree range, I can get pretty darn uncomfortable for the unaccustomed. But
I've lived here all my life, minus the years overseas and a few down in
Augusta while in the military. So it doesn't bother me too much. But I am
glad I have the B this summer. Drop the top and let the wind blow thru the
1/4 inch hair still on my head! (That is when your not at a stand still on
the interstates)
