I like the humidity. Feels nice against your skin.

High of 93 degrees F, 46% humidity today.
About the same as KH in Baltimore, which is forecast to have a high of 93 degrees F and 43% humidity.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

In winter you can laugh at us, until then:Originally posted by JimmyCracksCorn
Yes. Because 26C is ****ing hot. I'm not built for this ****. When I was growing up 85F was a big deal and everyone complained and moaned until it went away.
Anything higher than that is for the animals, its inhuman.
But please, if you want to talk about extreme temperatures, you guys would be pissing your pants in terror when it gets to -40C without the windchill up here in the winter.
ACK!
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!Comment

I've faced that, though it was with wind chill. Here's the thing. Humans are tropical animals. We aren't made to live in the frozen north.Originally posted by JimmyCracksCorn

I should note, that 20% of Canadian visit Florida every year, and 1 out of 13 live here yearround, so heat and humidity can't be all that bad.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

This is how tolderant I have become to heat.
And by the way, KH has an A/C. Even if you don't use it, knowing that its there is a kind of psychological weapon against the heat.Comment

State of Florida estimates that 1.7 million Canadians visited in 2003. That's 5% of all Canadians.
Che probably got his fraction backwards - he might have heard "1 in 20" and thought he heard 20%. Or maybe he's just full of ****. You make the call!

I have no clue where he gets the "1 in 13 live here year round". The state of Florida also estimates about 219,000 person-visits of Canadian "snowbirds", which are people that spend all or part of winter down south. Of that, about 20% stay 91 days or more. That would be about 1 in 700 Canadians that spend a few months there, of which a much smaller subset would live there year round.
So, I'll go with full of ****.
Edit - got my math wrong. It's only one in 700, not 1 in 100.Last edited by Kontiki; June 9, 2005, 09:11."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned

There's inflated self-importance if I've ever seen it. There's no way it's that high.Originally posted by chegitz guevara

All I know is lots of old folks go there, because it's a terrible state with nothing to do.

In Florida's defense, there's alot to see and do beyond the tourist traps. Its actually a beautiful state with lots of history.Originally posted by Asher

But as for Che's comments, I don't care. I'm only a naturalized Canadian anyways, not by birth. I still say 20C+ temperatures are barbaric.Comment
