LOL. Well, When I say that, I mean someone that has a beach on the ocean, though if this weather keeps up, that COULD potentially be MN.

Dear Rest of the Country,
Welcome to hell, we were getting lonely! It's nice to have some company.

My parents called me from California yesterday and were saying how
they were getting too cold in the evenings in just short sleeves. Needless to say, they don't miss the Texas nightmare called Summer.

Yeah, I gotta agree, the only place I've been that is more miserable than Texas in summer is Florida. I remember packing the car up after one trip visiting friends in Orlando, it was 4am and I was sweating way more than anybody should be at that time of day w/out any sun shining. And that was north Florida.

For Wisconsin, that's just WRONG.
We had our two best days of the previous 3 weeks with a 93 and 94 degree day Sat and Sun. Back to
business as usual for the Midsouth today, with heat indices all week north of 105, and temps between 97 and 100.
We are used to it but obviously do not prefer it. And when I say used to it, we do our yard work before 8am and
retreat to our air-conditioned homes for an afternoon of television...naught but the dogs and homeless can be said
to be used to it, because they have no retreat.
You know a SURPRISINGLY hot state every summer is NC....somehow they manage to always top 103 in actual temps
every year for a couple days. Strange.

Yeah, but then some of us get to shovel two feet of snow in -20F weather in January. We're getting the best of both worlds this year it seems.
