Here in Tennessee it hasn't gotten over a hundred this summer, but we have
had long stretches of 90+ with high humidity, which is wilting. All in all,
this has been one of the "cooler" and wetter summers I can remember, but it
is catching up for it now. I am a cool/cold/snow loving person (OK, OK, that
is just me. Don't mean to start an outburst <G>). Don't see much of that
anymore here. The sun is real nasty and hot. But my top is down, heat, sun,
or no. I built a deck out in the sun and heat earlier in the summer--found
out if you start working in the morning when it is somewhat cool, and work
through the heat-up, it isnt as bad as staying in AC and going out into it.
That is like getting slapped in the face very firmly.
