Starting To Warm Up Here
« Reply #15 on: July 06, 2007, 02:54:00 PM »
^ Just imagine living in an apartment with a crappy swamp cooler (with no water in it) and it's 112 degrees.  blink.gif

That happened yesterday to my wife & son. Good thing I installed a window A/C in the bedroom when we moved in . . . too bad the power went out.  sad.gif

Got home last night & filled up the swamp cooler with a buttload of pitchers of water and a couple bags of ice. Maintenance guys still haven't bothered to fix the water problem.  grr.gif

...aaaahhhh yes i remember the summer of 1980 in Texas. That was a bitch!! I remember cruising thru Fort Worth at 4:00 am and it was still 104 degrees!  I've lived here for 30 years; it's hot here but it was never that HOT!

^ Too humid in Texas for me. Last time I was there, I took like 3 showers per day.
Didn't mind the heat. . . but the humidity and mosquitos were pretty bad. I remember it actually rained one day and it was like 95 degrees at the time (in the summer). Probably took more than 3 showers that day, but I can't remember anymore.

México was just as bad, but at least we could jump into the Rio Grande if it were too hot. smile.gif

yeah hamwbone...that's pretty wild. But with all of the wet weather....it's nice that it's not that hot here this year.

Here is a tip that is off topic....G A R L I C....if you hate to be eaten alive by the mosquitoes; go to the health food store and get some garlic pills/capsules (they do sell "odorless" garlic pills/capsules you can take; so you won't smell an Italian restaurant. LOL!). Mosqitoes don't like you if you take garlic as a part of your daily regimen. I do. I rarely get bitten by pesky mosquitoes. It works.
