THX Ian, that was helpful, and it means it's hot, very hot where you live.

Are we on the same planet? Mind you I once got 58c in the Outback, but I was in a shed :) .

:P

Google calculator might be the best thing ever invented, though.

The only good thing is that I'm now in Austin, where it's not nearly as humid as Houston. Houston's summers are awful, even though it doesn't get above 100 F (usually), it's still so humid that just being outside for longer than a minute is just miserable. Austin has a dry heat which is much better.

But you have to deal with freezing winters. It's maybe 40-50 F in the winter here, occasionally it gets below freezing. ;)

But winter is beautiful, ice bathing, skiing, not knowing if you are driving on the road or not with the car, a god reason to eat very good and bit fat food.

I've been around the world but not seen all I've wanted to; so I've had my fill of the tropics and heat and dust; but now, its the North that pulls me; before I die I want to stand on the frozen tundra and see the Northern Lights above me :)
