Yah but it's a 'dry heat'.

I used to laugh at that but when you fly from here to back east you realize that 110 with 5% humidity is much more comfotable than 90 with 90% humidity.

God yes.  When I was at Jones, I was sent back to St Louis for an award ceremony. The temp was in the high 80s and  I think the humidity must have been the same.  .  It felt like being in a Turkish sauna and smacked in the face with a hot wet towel when we landed in St Louis. I thought I was going to melt into a pool of sweat and makeup.  Gross    At least you guys don't have to wear nylons with your business attire.

When we changed planes in Phoenix, the temp was about 105. When we got off the plane it was like..."What a relief!!!"    I don' t know how anyone can stand that humidity.

Give me 110 with a 2% humidity factor anytime compared to that.

It's much easier if you've grown up with it.

I did grow up with it and have only been back once in the last 4 years....but it was bruuutal.  Guess if I never knew the difference it would be ok.  And with the humidity comes THE BUGS.  Out here if my windshield gets a bug a month I'm suprised.

It's all about the tradeoffs.  Our ground doesn't shake (much).  We don't get 15 feet of snow that stays around all winter.  We get to actually enjoy all 4 seasons, and about the time your tired of them they change.  4 months out of the year (Jan and Feb, July and Aug) really suck, but the rest are great.  Our bugs aren't as big as the ones up north.  No helicopter sized mosquitoes.  No forest fires.  Fewer hippies.  Few tornadoes.  

If you ever want to visit Missouri, come see us in October or in April.  In my opinion those are the best months in the Show Me State.  

25 beers! Geeeeesh! Now, I've got a mental picture of you with a gut hanging over your bermuda shorts, a bad combover, an unlit stogie sticking out of the corner of your mouth, and a carpet of hair on your back.

Give or take a couple on that estimate... No plaid shorts- just the standard camo shorts, backwards Mets fitted, and shades... No gut just yet, but I am looking forward to the day many years form now when I have one....

At 49, I'm fighting mine everyday. Every morning, I stand-up straight, then look down to see if I can see my toes.

Alright, Mister 49 year old, I entertained a bunch of neighbors over the fourth and two different guys came up to me and said I looked better for having lost some weight. It was only about six pounds! So I switched over to red wine after the first beer, and am still motivated to reduce the carbs. That felt better than getting a new client…
