Air Conditioning is truly one of mankind's greatest achievements.

I couldn't imagine living in 1850's Gulf Coast Mississippi and not having it.

Oh Wait, I don't have to imagine because in 2009 I went to Air Force Tech School in Biloxi and EVERYTHING in my Squadron was still broken from The A.C. to Water most of the time.

Being just a regular Smuck from Kansas and not used to that sort of humidity it was tough to say the least.

At least Texas is a Dry Heat.

>>>At least Texas is a Dry Heat.

HA! Come to Houston and say that. The dew point was 75F this morning at 6...which is actually a little low for this time of year and I've seen it at 80F in the morning. Right now, the dew point is 77F and the RH is 84%. This is our life until mid/late-September.

The pope can have my AC when 1) He stops using it himself and 2) He pry's it from my cold dead hands.

Maybe the heat in west Texas is dry, but the east half of the state is humid and muggy during the summer.

dry heat just means its hot as the dickens but you don't sweat cause it is dry heat....been through the panhandle before cars had air conditions, its hell on earth, and you watch the heat rise off the ground and it distorts the homes and farms...stopped for gas, it was 100 and the gas station attendant said we should have been there last week, it was 110 in the shade..
