Pwned. You gay houstonians quit bitching it's not even hot there And if you didn't notice im on pretty much right next to the water
hahaha. Good find, but lets get real. Its hot for like 2 days a year, you just lucked out and we made this post on one of those days.

And please, dont preach to us about Humidity. Come to Texas for a while, the air will still be stuck to you when you get off the plane back in Mass.

Yeah, it was humid the other night I was cruising around. I was standing and literally just sweating STANDING next to my car. It sucked.

We can do that. Then, in December and January when you're struggling to get around because of the ice and snow, I'll be rolling with the windows cracked enjoying mid 40's.

I know what you mean. I went cruising the other day, AC off and the windows down and I was sweating. Made me think about rolling them up and turning the AC on, but I fought off the urge.

Living in Texas (most areas) is like living on the F**King SUN! I love it. I couldn't live where it gets too cold.

I'd definitly take the heat over the cold. I go to school in Oklahoma and I dread the winters there. It's so easy to just jump in the pool and cool off for a bit.

I Enjoy some nice Window action plus heater. What's also fun is when it's -20 with the windchill you see who can hold there hand out the window for the longest while going down the highway

I wasn't even born yet But I definately like your philosophy/motto!

Been here for the last 13 years though, and this is the hottest I remember...Then again it may just seem hotter because I don't get out as much as I did 5 years ago.

You want hot...Go play a double-header baseball game in this heat...As a CATCHER! Football gear makes you sweat pretty good too <<<Best days of my life right there

I know what you mean. I worked 11 hours saturday cutting down dead trees and splitting them for fire wood in columbus (my hometown). I had to change shirts 3 time b/c of all the sweat. And since i'm a firefighter there we have been having grass fires left and right. HUMIDITY SUCKS!!!

I notice when I walk the dog, he cant walk as much as he usally can because of the heat. Oh well, Texas summers always suck, but I did it for 4 years with no working a/c in a car.
