Lather, rinse, repeat

Welcome to Florida! Here's the weather report for the next month.
Low: 70 degrees
High: 90+ degrees
Humidity: 98%
Chance of rain: 1%
Next month, increase chance of rain to 20%. Repeat till November.

Please keep this in mind if you ever think it would be fun to live in the land of Mickey Mouse. The best thing about Florida is there's no sales tax. And remember, it's by and large a service-oriented economy! Wheeee!

Okay, maybe I'm just a little bitter about this because I have no A/C in my car. Well, the knobs are there, but to get it to work again will cost me a "cool" $500. I almost took off my shirt on the way home yesterday, but decided against it. Instead, I rolled up my pants and pulled the back of my shirt as high as it would go, then leaned way forward to try and get some breeze. Not too effective. My left arm has quite the suntan. I've taken to putting sunscreen on just that arm because I've got an authentic truck-driver tan going, which means that the rest of me is quite pale. It's very noticeable. If only I could drive with at least my left leg hanging out of the window for additional sunning and breeze enjoyment - but it's a standard transmission.

heh. Sounds similar to TX weather, except less humidity and more rain chances. I spent one summer down here without a/c...I have no desire to repeat that experience!
Well, there is the other Land of the Mouse-- same weather, sans humidity or rain. And alligators.

The swan badge arrived. It is tres kewl. ;)
*smirk* Oregon has no sales tax either...
Really? I do enjoy lots of rainy weather...hmmmm...
what are you talking about?... isn't it 6%?
I'll take no seasons and a little smog over that any day. Greetings from L.A. I remember spending a few weeks in Fort Meyers one summer. Excruciating is a good word.
