The Glade 4.0

Those are the ones you *really* have to watch out for.

They're trouble.

Hah! My view is almost the opposite: I love the people in Louisiana, but the problems are exactly the ones Michael hit on- humidity, heat, hurricanes, and lack of mountains.

I've visited 48 of our lovely states, and I have yet to find people who match the general warmth and laid-backness of folks from South Louisiana.

You still don't get how little lasting appeal southern humidity has for people who live on the west coast, do you?

We'd miss the mountains too.

No, I understand....I've been living here for almost 15 years and I still spend 95% of the summer hiding indoors with the air conditioner.
I do hate the humidity.
And I miss the mountains too.
And the ocean.
****.
I wanna go back to Oregon now.
Thanks a lot Micheal.

This, this, a thousand times this. I'll keep my 110 degrees with 5% humidity Sure, its like living in a convection oven sometimes, but at least I'm not sweaty and funky all the time.

Humidity is a beating, even here in Dallas. I can't imaging living where it's even worse.

I look forward to the day when summer doesn't mean day after day of crotch pot cooking...

Why do you think Mississippi is so fat, hahaha! We have learned that deep-frying is a good way to cook food without counter-acting the air conditioner!

On humidity:

I hadn't experienced humidity until I was about 9. Until then all my travels had somehow been to non-wet places. Hell, even Hawaii didn't whack me like Baltimore in August. I got off the plane and something was wrong with the air... it kept touching me. It was thick and hard to breathe. And it didn't get better at night! Sticky, nasty, miserable.

Man, I sure do like weather.

Maryland feels worse to me than Mississippi did. It could all be in my head, but Maryland just seems unbearably humid all summer...even when it's only 60-70 degrees you feel swampy and nasty.

Grew up in Maryland, and now live in a place which is just as humid and hotter for longer.

Maryland ain't got nuthin' on Georgia.

Really? Maryland is humid? I've never been there but I always imagined it to be nice and breezy year-round.

God no...it's hot and swampy in the summer (115+, 70-90% humidity), cold and miserable in the winter. Late spring and early fall are the only times the weather isn't godawful here.

Note: The District of Columbia was happily granted to the new federal government by the States of Virginia and Maryland mostly because it was a swamp that no one wanted to live in.

Also allowed them to keep an eye on those sneaky politicians.

Maryland can't hold a candle to St. Louis for sure. I also worked in around Atlanta and Cartersville, GA in 2006 and my god ... the heat. I liked it tho, made sweating out all that beer a snap.

Coastal Oregon is the promised land.

The Willamette Valley is a death trap, the pollen is armed with AK-47s most of the year.
