Tell me about that humidity. You folks in Texas don't have it any worse than many people on the east coast. The company I work for has its headquarters in the D.C. area and I visit there once a year, usually in the summer. Thank goodness the hotels are air conditioned.

The last two years, I visited a friend in Baltimore while I was in the area and spent the night at his house. No A/C, sweating like crazy -- even with a fan blowing directly at me. Makes me wonder how those Pilgrims survived out there.

I'll take California weather anytime.
