Yes indeed!

I lived in the Houston/Clear Lake area for 8 years.. ya just get use to having wet clothing from May - Oct! It was a shock when I moved to the Mojave desert . Now that I'm back in the southern US.. you just learn to expect the big electric bills May - Oct.

once you get above Virginia you cant get sweet tea. or at least its a rare find. I hear that McDonalds sells it now,and Long horn steak house has it on the menu, but past that, its as rare as hen's teeth.

I love sweet tea! wooo!

We make Sun Tea. Put the tea bags in cold water in a glass jar and let it sit in the hot sun for 3-4 hours. Then you can add sugar and refrigerate it. I do not add the sugar and if someone wants it sweet, they add the sugar when they pour a glass of it. Add ice cubes if desired. We like it.

The first time I had it was in TX and I didn't like it because they made it so very strong at least where I was.

Somebody mentioned doing errands, etc., during the cool part of the day? Uh. And that would be when? I just looked at my daughter's forecast in Tampa, and it says 75 at NIGHT for as far as the eye could see. Nuh-uh.

I don't go out when it's hot. I go pretty early in the morning and there are less people that way as well. Evening is out; I'm too tired.

Yup; even in Kansas, it's hot. Not unusual for it to be 95 - 100 on a daily basis, in summer.

I just stay inside, too.

Grew up in Canada, and that's also what we did when it was -30 or -40.
