It's not the heat, it's the humidity

Man, have I become spoiled. It will be next week before I get my air conditioner that was damaged in the fire replaced and I have been sweating my butt off. It hasn't even hit 90 yet and I have been walking around resembling a wet sponge. Bottom line is, I did'nt react this way to the heat this way when I was younger.

As a kid I grew up in a houses that had little or no a/c. If we did have a/c it was a" swamp cooler". They keep you cool, but push so much humidity that everything is damp and covered in mildew. As I got older we got better a/c, refridgerated window units that kept a room or two cool. It's only in the last few years that I have lived with central HVAC and it has ruined my resistance to the heat.

This from a guy that wants to move to Central America. I'm sure Belize is abound with air conditioning.

Luckily, I live in the country. It's peaceful and quiet. I have plenty of shady trees. So for the meantime, it's old school... fans in the windows and a cold beer. You know, it could be a whole lot worse.
