^^Howard:
A few evenings back I learned from the TV evening news weather report that 94 degrees around here feels like 105 degrees. No wonder I seem to be always hiding in the air conditioning! Jeez Louise.
How is your AC, Big T? Does it get cold in your house?
We have a very large, old house (three stories, with the third being maid quarters when built over a hundred years ago-now daughter's lair), including front and back stair and real plaster throughout. Very difficult to install AC. We did have it installed about 5 years ago-targeted the second and third floors, ignored the first. System works well!
I used to live fairly near to where you are, on Thompson Shore Road in Manhasset. Summer was sticky, and when you got into Long Island Sound to cool off, you felt like a clam in a big pot of Manhattan style chowder!
Eagle2250, I hadn't, until now, considered humidity a factor in the climate of hell. Thank you for something interesting to think about.Always trying to be an eternal optimist, I prefer to look back on the intolerable temps/humidity levels we have been forced to endure of late, as nothing more that a prequel to a potential eternity in the firey furnace(s) of Hell! Perhaps it's time we try to do better?
My friend, you may be right in your questioning my assertion that "humidity is a factor in the climate of hell," but over the years, I've found myself told to go to hell so many times I just assumed that living out the autumn years of life in the sub-tropical climes of central Florida, with summer temps and humidity levels so frequently registering in the upper 90 degree/% levels, I quite understandably concluded this must be a life prequel to or a preconditioning program intended to prepare me for eternity in the fiery depths of Hell! LOL.
