Hating on the $EC - Mostly Alabama (and a little Georgia too)

I’m a hedonist. I’m staying inside and watching the Braves STB.

S FL wet bulb temps have been over the low 100s for weeks. At least there is almost always a breeze. But, even the shade is uncomfortable and evening outdoor activities unbearably humid. We stay mostly indoors at home or in air conditioned venues. My yard has gotten overgrown with weeds due to neglect. It's too hot, even in the early morning to be out there gardening.

Just returned from a cruise that visited the Canadian ports of Halifax, St. John, Sydney and Quebec. Relatively cool and dry weather except Quebec where it was drizzly with a high of 62! Light jacket conditions. Still, not down on my retirement location selection of S FL. I knew exactly what I was getting into the months of July through mid September as I spent time there during these hot months before we bought a home having been warned to make sure I wanted to put up with that. Other times, the wx is great and that would be basically 180 to 270 days out of 360.

When dew point is greater than 77, it’s an emergency. Shade doesn’t matter. Hydration doesn’t matter. You just can’t get cool. Body doesn’t sweat enough. Heat kills more people than tornadoes, floods, cold, hurricanes.

A dew point of 51 is very comfortable, even with higher temps.

They chose to live in the tropics, Wiz. They've got to deal with it.

It's MAGA Republicans fault liney. Hillary said so.

You don’t choose where you’re born, and while the fortunate can move, the poor have no choice and often don’t have a decent, working AC.

Not sure why you are shitting on poor people, Liney.

If John Kerrey would stop flying on his private jet so much we wouldn't have this carbon issue...
