I am happy to be where I am

I am technically from Honduras(was born there and lived there for 5 months afterwards LOL)

It's been brutual in Jacksonville recently. You know the saying "it's not the heat it's the humidity"? I now subscribe to that fully. Whenever it is 98% humidity I run from my AC house, to my AC car, to my AC work and then back. I'm a golfer and refuse to even go hit range balls right now it's so hot. This sucks!

It's 105 here in Tucson today and I still haven't turned the AC on (we have dual cooling and I run the Evap as long as I can - what a cheapskate I am). My home was built in 55 and is made of Adobe - which has a decent R value and thermal storage capacity. But any day now the wifey will start groaning and I'll have to switch over to the AC...

...it's a dry heat - you know, like an oven.
