A typical South Floridian day--leave an air
conditioned home to go to an air conditioned car to go to an air conditioned job
or doctor's office or mall.  After back into the air conditioned restaurant to
go to an air conditioned movie, restaurant and/or home. Maybe, just maybe, they
spent a total of twenty minutes in the heat.

I hear about 'dry' heat versus humidity. When it is
110 in the shade (like in Phoenix or New Orleans) dry heat is HOT and you will
burn your hand on the car door handle.

Do New Yorkers forget the
sweat box the city is during the summer months with all the buildings trapping
the hot air in the streets and/or the smell of the tar melting? Do they forget
the crowded cars, buses and/or trains, not to forget the time it took to get to
Orchid Beach, Reis Park, Coney Island
or Fire Island?. Do they forget the nights so hot they couldn't
breath??

In South Florida they are a few minutes from the
beach or a pool, which is very seldom crowded because it is too hot out!!! Okay,
the ONLY complaint I have about living in South Florida is that you can't jump
into the ocean or pool to cool off as many times the water is as hot as the
air!!!Today the 'feels like' temperature is 101 but tonight I will be on the
Point enjoying a great cross breeze.

And rainy days?? So what? It gives you time to catch
up on indoor chores!!

Hey, New Yorkers, if you don't like it here there
are airplanes, trains and buses leaving everyday plus there is the turnpike,
I-95, Federal Highway and A1A ready to take you north.
