The humidity increases our discomfort. Dry heat over 100 degrees is more comfortable than 90 degrees with high humidity. <br /><br />When I was young the only air-conditioning around probably was in a couple of the better movie theaters in downtown Chattanooga, but everyone seemed to survive the heat because they were accustomed to it.<br /><br />The thermostat on my central A/C is set on 75 degrees and it runs from sometime early to mid morning until after dark, and then cuts on again a time or two during the night. I’m staying inside as much as possible and drinking liquids, some of which are of the adult variety. Then, as the sun is going down and the temperature is moderating a bit in late afternoon I sometimes go out for some refreshing skinny-dipping in my pool.<br /><br />Would you care to join me? :-) <br /><br />(You may get an email or a phone call about this.)Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799732509238959026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-28519865637899081822010-07-26T20:20:02.644-05:002010-07-26T20:20:02.644-05:00And I thought we were hot with high 90 to low 100 ...And I thought we were hot with high 90 to low 100 degree temps. But we just moved to Salem, Oregon from the Oregon Coast, where it tends to be a bit cooler then in the Willamette Valley. We also don't have any air conditioning--just one fan and I think my car's AC needs to be recharged. :P<br /><br />On the Oregon Coast, it can get above 90, but that is not really common. The weather is usually pretty mild there since the ocean helps to regulate the temprature there. You just have to get used to high winds during winter. That and all of the rain we get in the Pacific Northwest. <br /><br />On top of all that, we also have medical marijuana.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240872932290051612noreply@blogger.com
