The heat might have been what killed your laptop!

If it were only that simple....

It had been dying a slow death, in retrospect. A glitch here and there, had to reboot it a couple times...

Supposed to be hit with major storms tomorrow, late morning...we'll see if that rings true. That'll make churchin' interesting, for sure, since no one around here knows how to drive when it's raining.

All windows open, and I'm still at 82. If I hadn't been in OKC, the landlady's air conditioning guy might've been here this week, but nope. Ugh.

Hit 86 indoors here in the Land of 300 Days of Sunshine*.

Was strangely comfortable, but I admittedly was sweating like a stuck pig.

Aren't you guys engineers? You can afford to live in hospitable conditions. You know what's ****ing great? Walking inside from yardwork when the house is at 72 and outside is over 95.

Life doesn't give a **** if you can stand up to hot weather. It's far too short to live miserable.

WRONG!

IT. Worse, I am an IT consultant!

I get a great price to live here in an otherwise expensive community, and it allows me to live pretty high on the hog outside of my apartment, which while dated in some respects (only a/c I get is the wall unit in the living room), is still a steal.

Plus, A/C would probably be fixed by now, if I hadn't been out of town this past week.

Humidity kills me more than heat. I like heat. If it's 65 with 64 Dew Point? Miserable. If it's 100 and 50 Dew Point? Yeah, we're good.

Fair enough. Carry on strapping your boots.

Not entirely. 90 and dry in Denver is actually quite comfortable.

100+ is not. I hit 105 in Phoenix (which has the same "dry heat" trope.) I was dying.

Huh. I never really minded that. FTR, I don't own or wear shorts. No need.

You're insane.

Anything over 70 requires shorts. Over 80, it's a/c or die. Humidity be fcked.

Ever have grip strut go across your legs? It's not good. Bicycle road rash is child's play compared....hence, jeans. Got used to it, so be it. I'm alright with heat.

I can handle 80 with a 40 dew point no problem.

But, that never happens here so screw it the AC goes on.

Can some weather guru explain why the upper Midwest sometimes gets shafted with the swamp humidity of Florida & Southern Georgia?

My work does not allow shorts. Same thing, got used to it. Granted, if it's 60+ and I'm not at work I'm wearing shorts.

Bostonians - let's say Fade has one night in Boston this Friday, and is coming in around 6 (will be brutal for the crowded & popular places, I know). Where should I eat? Staying at the Logan Hilton (have a 7:30 flight on Saturday, or else I'd be at the downtown one for the same price, so don't judge). Looking downtown, East, and Orient Heights, so not far.

I've been to a few joints before - Mario's in East (good), Boston Sail Loft downtown (meh), Fiore in North End (pretty good), Bostonia Public House downtown (good), New Saigon in Orient Heights (best pho ever).

During the summers, we'll get weather that curls up from the Gulf of Mexico. Also, all the non-Great Lakes-lakes warm up enough to kick humidity up a notch during the summers.

Re: Rep retirement lodge CC - greetings from heathrow

Okay, this is *d up. I turned the A/C on this morning, because I knew that ALL the humidity is coming today. I come home after a walk to discover that the freaking FURNACE is running, and it is now 83 degrees in the house. This is nice.
