The Heat is Here, Enjoy!

Humid heat, I melt at 80. Dry heat, I melt at 85. And when I say melt, I mean I can't function without air conditioning or at least a very large fan. I'm a northern girl, what can I say?

Phoenix was the last one off the retirement list before we finally settled on Maine. We eliminated North Carolina, Colorado, the Pacific Northwest for various reasons but we hated to let go of Phoenix We finally did just because even with air conditioning, that kind of heat would kill me.

I turn red. Bright red. Not sunburned. Just... red. It was 65 when I got up at 7... 77 now (11:30am)... Sorry.

Over the years I have had many visits to NYC to visit family, occasionally in the winter which reminded me (as if I needed reminding) of why I left. Snow. Temps in the teens. Fageddaboudit. Like the song says "Gimmee the heat boys and free my soul."

PS. I know. It's beat, not heat. LOL.

Extreme heat, mechanical issues leave American Airlines passengers stuck for hours at Harry Reid Airport

Yeah, I would have taken the 1k voucher.

Our temps went way down....84! Yay!

How about you Jack, are you getting a cool down?

If under 100 is cooled down, then yes. Was 97 at 4PM. Rain forecast for tonight. 81 degrees forecast for 7 am tomorrow. Will give me a chance to do some yard work.

And that is why I am retiring to Maine and not Arizona.

But it's a *dry* heat!

It really does make a big difference. 100 degrees with 3% humidity would feel (to you) like it was a beautiful 80/85 degree day.
As much as I whine about the summers here, I vastly prefer to suffer the heat for a couple of months and then enjoy beautiful fall/winter/spring.
