    Can't confirm but I've read and heard the theory that your body takes years to acclimate to a particular climate. I had a guy come to work for me from Vermont. He was much younger and in much better shape but I could work rings around him in the summer. He just about had to go to the ER one summer and I wasn't even uncomfortable.

    I have a buddy that was born and raised in Miami, moved to Alaska in his teens and loves it. He comes here to visit in the Summer and cannot handle the heat at all.

    True story about getting used to where you live. I was in the service in South Dakota, High temps and low humidity. Went back to Mo on leave one summer and went back to SD THREE days early from leave to get away from the Humidity. Couldn't stand it and the folks house didn't have air cond. It's got to be bad when you go back from leave early.

    Didn't even have an air cond. But even when the days were 100 in SD the nights would get down in the 70's. Loved the summers there.

    I can honestly say I've acclimated to the climate. I moved here 22 years ago when I was in my early 20's and thought the summers sucked. By the time I was 30 I had my own boat and this became paradise and the hot weather no longer bothered me near is much. Even now in my mid 40's I can go up to the hunting camp and work all day in the heat as long as I keep fluids in me. Tomorrow you'll find me anchored up at Crab Island chilling in the water not even caring that heat indexes will be 105 or better! I am glad I work indoors in an air conditioned building all week, work everyday out in this heat I'm sure gets old after a while. I feel for the road crews who have been working to building the Hurlburt bypass on Hwy 98 this summer, that has to suck!

    Yep, its hotter than a fresh f%#$ed fox in a forest fire. I figured I would spend the day riding the John Deere but the heat coming off that summbich is cruel. I think I'll spend the rest of the day in the office acting like I'm doing paperwork.

    Was going to work on a new chicken coop for the wife but it will wait for a few days while I soak up the A/C till it cools down a few degrees. The older I get the worse the heat and humidity seems to get, 20+ years ago I worked all day outside and loved the heat. Screw that sh!t now, bring on the cooler temps.

    I've lived in the south all my life except for my time in the military. I'm old enough that I remember the first window ac that my dad installed. I never went to a school with ac until I started college in 1966. I sometimes wonder how the hell we lived without ac. Maybe I'm just getting old and can't take it any more. It could be worse. When I was in the Air Force stationed in Kansas, it was 102 in the summer and asshole deep in snow in the winter. When I got discharged, I gave away a set of snow chains and told the person I gave them to that I would never ever need them again. As bad as the heat is, nobody ever retires and moves up north.
