Now that it comes to it, I see that getting a car with a black leather interior may have been a mistake.

What sort of nad powder is recommended?

You'd have the same company either way so that's not a factor

It does look hout out there. Today is a rare day that I'm happy I work in an office. It's actually kinda cold in here today.
Of course the idiot co-workers I'm forced to deal with make me long for an escape.

I think I saw a guy melt, right on the sidewalk. Brutal.

Yea, at least Hell's a dry heat.

Hot up here too, but the humidity is what's killing me- they cancelled my daughter's pre-k because it's too hot to put the kids in buses.

It broke 100 here in north central NC the past 5 days...however, it's nothing compared to living in Orlando/Ocala/Gainesville, FL in August, and I promise you that applies to everyone else in here complaining.

Try hitting 98-102 every day for 4 weeks straight, then add 90%+ humidity to it.

So, what the OP is saying is that he would rather live in Central FL than in DC?



I'll take 100+ here in the mid-Atlantic over ~95 in Central FL any day. I won't even talk about gigging in the French Quarter in New Orleans during August with no a/c in the club and a dress code that forbade either t-shirts or shorts, not to mention dress shoes required....

As a former resident of that state, I agree 100%. Florida is terrible.

Amen. The humidity is killer. I can't walk from my car to a store entrance without breaking into a sweat. If you wanna do anything outside, you have to wait until 6 or 7 at night for it to be doable. Everyone who lives out of state at my college is always like "OMG Florida has the perfect weather," and then I see their facebook statuses all summer saying "... misses the Florida weather!" They are only here from September to the beginning of May... late May to the end of August are the absolute worst here... :P so they get none of the bad, and all of the good.
