Texas has some really serious heat! Unless you could just hole up inside in the A/C a good part of the year, you might not be able to tolerate it. Parts of the state has high humidity, parts tend to be more low humidity. Our 70's days don't last that long, I'm afraid. I'd settle for low 80's, but not enough of those either. These days we're in the high 90's.
AnnaZ said:I had heat exhaustion 6 years ago and ended up in the ER and got 2 liters of fluid. I have not been the same since. Rolling on the floor laughing Seriously, tho...........I find I cannot tolerate the high temps any more. Couple that with my being the "Queen of Hormonal Imbalance" and i can get pretty overheated pretty quick. :>) I think the Spousal Unit believes that it's not REALLY as bad as I say it is sometimes, so I just don't say much about it unless I REALLY start to sweat and feel kinda yucky. Then I say "I gotta go get in the shade, I'm gettin' too hot". I find that I can function best as a human at about 70 degrees. Before anyone says "Oh, you must LOVE winter..........". Nope, hate cold weather with a passion. Always have, and as I get older I hate it more. I've always said that when my ancestors came over on the boat, just WHY they stopped here.............couldn't they have gone on to California, Texas, or Hawaii????? LOL I cannot fathom the people that live in Alaska. Must have anti-freeze in their veins.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
