I grew up on a farm in SW Arizona (near Yuma). Ever try to touch anything on a tractor in 120deg weather? That sizzle is your finger. And "chopping cotton" (until cotton gets to be a certain height you have to hoe the weeds out from between the plants) is a real drag too.

Then I spent a year in Austin and my grandparents live in Sherman, TX. I'll take the dry heat anytime.

heh, September day games in Tallahassee aren't much fun when wearing a band uniform and marching around (though much better than being a big ol' offensive lineman!) Thankfully, it's a natural grass surface. Did the Meadowlands once in August. Over 120F on the field. Felt like my shoes were melting. I felt sorry for the football teams in that one.

(btw, FSU 42 Kansas 0 in that one!)

Point taken, FSU sucks, should have been 84 to 0.
