1. My oven is a dry heat, too.

And it bakes things to a crisp.

[KitchenWitch]

2. Then you understand completely!

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

20. That's my standard answer too!

"It's a dry heat? Well, yeah, and so is the inside of my oven."

[ChoralScholar]

3. Your tempatures must be HUGH!!!111!

[KitchenWitch]

6. I'll take a dry heat any day. I've been in Arizona 115 degrees, no problem.

I've suffered complete defeat at 80 degree Wisconsin August 99% humidity, not to mention the Wisconsin August 98 degree 99% humidity.

Dry heat all the way!! Bring it on!

[KitchenWitch]

9. I too have survived Minnesota and Wisconsin's tropical swamp season

But damn, I live in a clay oven.

65 degrees is the perfect temperature.

10. pft, you should be in the central valley, it gets africa hot up here...

[KitchenWitch]

11. I know, I am a wimp when it comes to heat

Give me -20 any day.

[TommyO]

19. Same here! I'm a cold weather person

I love seeing my breath, I love my nose icing up, I love wearing sweaters. And it's damned hard to wear full leather when it's 90 degrees with 90 percent humidity!

12. As a Houstonian, I'm fully aware of what humidity can do.

The local Bike Couriers' Zine is called "Humidity." www.hhbcz.com/

But, when it's above 100 degrees in El Paso, don't tell me "yes, but it's a dry heat."

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

14. When it's above 100 in El Paso

then Yes, but it's a dry heat. way better than 100 in Houston.

Plus, in El Paso, you know it'll cool off when the sun goes down. Not so much in humid areas.

13. I went for a three-mile jog in Tucson last summer

It was around noon. I thought the 90-degree "dry heat" would make for an enjoyable jog around the park.

I nearly died. As soon as I stopped running, all the blood rushed out of my head to my feet, and I nearly passed out. Not a good feeling.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

15. "Only mad dogs and Englishmen ..."

What were you thinking? Anyway, the heat is tolerable BECAUSE you are evaporating moisture at a high rate. If you're running, your digestive tract can't replace it as fast as you sweat and evaporate. I'm sure your blood chemistry was a little off-kilter until you could get more water into the system.

I know the feeling, though. I gave blood, then played tennis. I "saw stars" a few times in that match.

[lost-in-nj]

16. Yeah all it is

instead of boiling
you bake....

there is something wrong when you walk down the street and don't sweat
until you go into air conditioning.....

I was in Las Vegas and Arizona in August.....
HEAT IS HEAT and HOT IS HOT no matter what anyone says!!

:hi:

17. Lies, lies, all lies!

122 in Amarillo, TX on the only day I was ever there - it was dry, but it was also damned hot! Dehydration is not your friend.

[raccoon]

21. Where you at? I'd rather endure NM's dry heat than SC's sauna. nt

[KitchenWitch]

25. Southern California

We have a clay tile roof and they do not believe in insulation here for the building codes, so we essentially live in a clay oven.

[jobycom]

22. You spend a day in New Orleans at 90, then go to Phoenix at 100.

It ain't no lie. Phoenix will feel like Heaven.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

23. Hey, when it gets hot here, it is NOT a dry heat.

It's fugging humid.

So nyah to all you dry-heaters. :P

:hi:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

24. OH puh-lease.

I've been in Phoenix when it's 110+. I'll take that any day over 95 and nearly 100% humidity here in DC.

26. Live in Missouri during July and try saying that again
