Just got back from a nice 5-day business trip in Chicago. Holy crap was that humidity stifling. Went to a Cubs game and took the L, never had I sweat so much in my life while standing 2-stories underground in a non-air conditioned subway tunnel. Worth it though as I got to see Clemens & Maddox
Relief came later in the week after a few thunderstorms blew out the heat. I spent the weekeed at my buddy's house as he owns a home on a lake. The only time I felt good was jumping off his boat and floating in the water.
I'll take our brief California heat waves over the midwest's stifling heat any-day
