Thread Name: BS: Too Effing Hot!!!
Subject: RE: BS: Too Effing Hot!!!
Speaking for my family in Maine, we have high temperatures and humidity every summer, and often in spring and autumn as well. We may or may not enjoy the heat, but it's a normal occurrence in our experience and we know quite well how to manage. We feel fortunate to live in an area with dramatic contrasts in severe weather; we accommodate to whatever weather we encounter... weeks of punishing heat or weeks of punishing cold. Some of us have lived/traveled in Texas, California, Florida, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, England, Italy, Germany, Egypt, Kenya, and South Africa as well as Maine, so we have experienced different climates.

It's all too easy to assume that other people can't handle what we ourselves survive. :) May we each manage well enough with current weather conditions to be able to help those who are in need.
