I drink water like fish take to the water. I probably pee over 2Litres everyday. <img src="/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

I have AC but the condo managment charge 50 bucks a month for use of power. I decide to use a fan rather spending the AC.

It's July in Dallas and 102 degrees is about normal for this time of year. The advantage to living down here is that I don't have to shovel sunshine (like I did for Nov - Mar snowfalls in Ohio). Once the grass begins to go dormant then I can go 2 weeks between lawn mowing.

Besides, the lovely wife looks cuter in shorts and a t-shirt than wearing 6 layers of wool clothing <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

it is more fun to peel the clothes of the wife just like peeling an onion. The fun is getting there. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm in Arizona where we are used to high temps, it's the humidity that gets to me. As the dew point rises, persperation becomes less effective. Regardless, hydration is always important. We went shooting today and between two little boys and myself we killed a gallon of gatorade and six liters of bottled water in 3 hours.

LOL! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> That was hillarious Chris, (sorry you didn't feel that way at the time, but just the way story was told is great)!

Well here in Bay Area temperatures are a bit on the high side, but yesterday we went to the beach and had to bring two blankets, because it was 59 degrees there. San Francisco never seized to amaze me; drive 10 miles and you are in a different climate zone all together!

It was 104 F. and 12% yesterday. Typical for this time of year. Not too bad if it stays dry.

Well then, I probably shouldn't tell you that it topped out here around 95 degrees with a dew point in low seventies yesterday.
