When we lived in north Florida, I'd have business trips a few times a
month to south Florida, both on the Miami side and on your side, well,
usually in Tampa-St. Pete. Almost always, as soon as I got off the
plane
in your latitudes in the spring or summer, I was knocked over by the
heat.

That's why I preferred northern Florida. It *felt* better to me.

We talked about this before, and a lot has to do with acclimatization
and mind control.
I go to St Pete beach every year and when my car A/C went out the
first day last year, we just stayed inside or on the beach mid day.
We found that the 85-90 degree stuff didn't bother us when driving.
Of course we weren't on the highway, so having the car windows
open was fine.
Other years we had the air on under those conditions and probably
would have sweated without it.
Took about 3 days to get acclimated.
Using mind control was about 50% of it.
Not the Mr Spock stuff, just not bitching about the heat.
Or even talking about it.

Oh, you know how it is with Harry. If he doesn't like something, no
one else should either. I can see the fat ******* sweating like a pig
and whining constantly.

Does it make you horny?

LOL...... that's a good 'un.- Hide quoted text -

yeah, it is, for someone to think that a heterosexual male would be
turned on by a stinking, sweaty piece of **** like Harry. Oh, wait, it
certainly appears that he turns YOU on. Now go fetch your son some
beer.

I really don't think it is any hotter here in the summer than it was
in DC. I remember lots of days over 100 there in the summer. It never
gets much more than the mid 90s here if you are near the water. The
real difference is at night but that is what AC is for. Now if 50-60
is your favorite temperature, we don't have much for you here 9 months
of the year.
I like 75-85 myself but I boat and swim in my pool a lot.

I was surprised to find out that MA averages more summer days above 95
degrees than Jupiter, FL where we had a winter house. In fact Jupiter
rarely ever saw 95 degrees in many years of record keeping. Of course, it
is short lived in MA and not constantly hot like the summers in Florida.

The couple of times we stayed in Florida into May, I really got a kick out
of the afternoon thunderstorms. They would arrive on schedule in the
afternoon, last for 5 min, then clear out until the next one.

I'm not a big fan of those houses on the manmade canals. In fact, I'm
not a big fan of having waterfront property with a boat dock. Looking
out the den window and seeing a big boat or my neighbor's house across
the canal is not to my taste. I'd rather park the boat at a nearby
marina. That should be much easier these days in Florida because of
the financial collapse there.



I think most people who own homes on manmade canals do so *because* they
can dock their boat near the house. That's why they live there. If
people don't like looking at boats, they shouldn't buy a home in an area
designed for people with boats.

Harry is just trolling for Wayne. Not too subtly, I might add.

If my boat was in a marina I probably wouldn't use it very much.
Certainly not 4 or 5 times a week. The trick is finding a short canal
with no traffic and nobody out your
back door. I passed the house next to the one I posted and went around
the corner on a dead end canal. I am 300' from the river but I don't
ever see any boat traffic and it is a very private yard.

Reminds me of reporting to Puerto Rico for duty while in the Navy. I flew
to San Juan in October, wearing my winter dress uniform. Stepped out of
the airplane upon arrival and felt like I got punched in the stomach. It
took about a month to acclimate.

Well, I will say I never spent a lot of time in south Florida during the
steamy months. Couple days at most. I do recall a pretty nice beach stay
at St. Pete. Great thunderstorms...rivers running through the streets,
as it were. But late afternoon and short-lived.

Wouldn't mind living there then, but for vacations I choose the

Not just because rates are cheaper, but because I go there for the
beach and fishing.
Hate to waste a week of vacation if it got cool down there during the
winter. And it does.
But I don't go farther south than Punta Gorda nowadays.

Nah. I don't give a schitt about Wayne, his house, or his boat. None of
them are to my taste. When and if we move south again, it'll be to a
place with real flora, real seasons, and along a natural river or creek.

Both my wife and I like Hilton Head and its environs, and the Golden
Isles. We also like the area where we lived, around St. Augustine, Florida.

Ahh. Well, for many years, we used to spend at least a week at Bal
Harbour in February. Beautiful beaches, not crowded at all, and terrific
fishing about a mile offshore.
