I have had a very satisfying career (there were bumps, I think we all have them). I consider myself very very lucky.

Bump because I'm off to the county recycling facility to get rid of some old gas. (As in automobile type petroleum product. I can't trust you guys around a line like this[:D][:D].)

I think I killed the Anti-Thread. I changed the title to Heathen Anti-Thread at 8:19 this morning and there have been no more reponses. [:D]

What are you talking about. I was in Houston for a week one September (00 not sure) the temperature was 103 in the day and went down to 90 at night.



Houston is FAR worse than the Dallas area (where i am now). i went to school in Houston for 4 years. Almost every time the first year or so that i went to the airport (Christmas, Easter, end of year) - the "thermometer" on a bank i would pass read 95 degrees/95% humidity... [X(] [8|]

Dallas gets hot, but the humidity isn't too bad...
Dallas is equally bad in my book. In Houston the heat rarely goes over upper 90's, or did when I was a kid in the 70's, but Robert is right, the humidity is bad. I remember going to the rec pool as a kid to swim. It was hard to tell if people had already been in the pool or not, they were just as wet either way.

San Antonio is the worst. I think it gets up to around 100 degrees there and humidity is still around 90%.

Still have never been to S.A. They have (or had) a good shoe company there...

Well, as far as heat, yeah, Dallas does get hotter, but i can sit outside (if in the shade) and not get drenched in sweat... and i couldn't do that in Houston. Dallas is a sauna, but Houston is a steam bath.

Stress testing? See how many pounds you can pile on before you get a failure?
