I don't live in Hot Places. I don't vacation in Hot Places. I avoid traveling through Hot Places. I've been to LV at 117F, Phoenix/Scottsdale at 111F, Central CA at 104F and even Washington DeeCee at 104f + 90% humidity. I spent 20 months in Viet Nam, where temps got well into the 110s, humidity would have, if it were possible, dust would blow in your face while you were standing in mud up to your knees, and air pollution came in large, fast-moving chunks. Didn't care for that either. I don't like Hot Places. Never have -- not going to start now. As a native of Canuckistan, I come by it honestly. >Months at a stretch with no sun is so much better, now, isn't it? When I want sun in the winter, I can drive to Bend and go skiing. Simpler, cheaper, more pleasant and less bother. And on the Wet Side of the Cascades, I don't have to shovel rain either! It all works out. The comparisons provided in the referenced post obviously come from a CA-ian.
