Humidity!

Humidity's been brutal here in Houston since last week. Walked by the local
pool at about 5 AM this morning, the "cool of the day", and was just as wet
as if I'd walked through it ... and the thermometer over the workbench in
the shop read 113 this afternoon.

I hate that also. That is why airconditioning was invented. I pay to heat
the house in the winter, so I'm willing to pay for the comfort in the
summer. A hundred years ago people in the cities slept on rooftop, in
parks, by the rivers. Now we just turn the knob to "High Cool".

Just got back from Sheffield in June and had rain on 10 out of 12 days ...

Actually, we are praying for rain !
Had none to speak of for weeks. A batch of thunderstorms went all
round us last night.

Of course, the temperature is nothing to boast about (24degC).

<major neener>
It was really muggy when I returned to GP yesterday, probably
20%, but it's back down to 16% today.

I remember climbing out of the shower in Arkansas, drying my
torso, then by the time I dried my legs, my torso was totally
engulfed in sweat. I do NOT miss that sticky heat, lemme tell
ya. You guys on the east half of the USA can -have- it.

I've just bought two silk shirts and sewn myself a linen chainsawing /
woodturning smock (no front opening, no chips down the shirt).
