Hot and Humid


We have hit the hot-and-humid part of the Summer. It was 87°F today with 66% humidity.

I was running errands this afternoon. As I left an air conditioned building, my sunglasses fogged up when I hit the outside air. My air conditioned sun glasses were colder than the dew point. Like I said, "Hot and Humid". I'm a big fuzzy guy and I don't do hot and humid that well. I grew up in a cold climate with a basement bedroom surrounded on four sides by unheated space (two outside walls with single pane windows, an unheated uninsulated garage and an unfinished basement space). My brother and I shared the room and we would, on occasion in the depths of Winter, have our water glasses freeze solid over night on our beside tables. In a world of Producers and Consumers, I'm a heat Producer. Fortunately, I married a serious heat Consumer.

It is interesting how 87° and 66% humidity doesn't seem so bad when you are on a island in the Bahamas. Then it seems just right ;-)
