We do have air conditioning. ;)

I will be going horseback riding in the desert on our day off.

Wimp. I lived in Maracaibo for over 11 years. The lowest temperature I ever saw was 19C at dawn in winter. 40C is normal. There they have 9 months of hell and 3 months of summer, but no one makes a big deal about it.

I'll accept that title if it would allow me to move back to the Puget Sound area. Summertime highs rarely hit 80F and anything above 72 degrees was when you started shucking most of your clothes. :) My wife tells friends that she much prefers Phoenix over Houston, where toweling off after a shower was an exercise in futility; you're soaked with sweat before you got your clothes on. :suss:

It's officially summer, for me anyway. After an hour of cleaning the yard (trimming bushes and palms, pulling weeds from the lawn and out of the rocks, sweeping rocks off the sidewalk), I get to jump in the pool to cool off. However, I have to find some shade to keep my bald pate from getting to be the color of the bougainvillea. :cool: But the reality is that here (Phoenix) we get 9 months of summer and 3 months of Hades. :rolleyes:

:laugh: :laugh: When it gets too hot here, we go to Phoenix to cool off! ;P

But there's no charge for the sauna here in Houston. And why bother with clothes? We run around in shorts and (maybe) a T-shirt, except for eating out or going to the store, etc.

Do you know where? I ask because there are a couple of places out my way, in the foothills of the Superstitions.

But you have an actual running river; it's virtually Coors!

They have things here called "Misters" that create a fine mist of water in the air. The evaporation of the mist cools the air about 20F. You can even by small ones that you attach to your hat. :cool: Anyway, it shouldn't be too hot, only about 100F (38C).
