I suppose one thing about 'appointments' is that they are usually in
air conditioned buildings..

I was out shopping today and appreciated that since even here in mid-northern
Ontario where it's usually a little cooler than further south, it got up
to 31c (87f) with the Humidex making it feel like 37c (99f). I suppose a lot
of people in the Southern USA would laugh at that, the way we tend to
laugh at people who think 20 or 30 degrees below freezing in winter is
actually cold..    B)

I remember a summer motorcycle trip I took to Florida in my misspent
youth and when I came out of a Georgia Hotel at 10 am it was already
at 105f. Another guest just leaving noticed my Ontario plates and asked
where I was heading and, when I told him mid Florida, he laughed and
asked if it wasn't already hot enough here?

It's pretty rare to hit 90f where I am. We usually only see 4 or 5
days a year that hot, so I've never owned an air conditioner, other
than in my car, but I've been giving a couple of fans a good workout
the last few days..

Also in reference to our colder winters, I may comment here but you
won't hear me complain about summer heat. I much prefer unusual heat
to unusual cold. I just try to limit outdoor activities on the worst
of those days in either direction..    B)
