I don't mind the heat at all out here. At XBIZ in the summer here I had no problems at all. I've never liked or used air conditioning. I like fresh air.
The heat here is a dry heat. Living in Fla. and then S.C. for most of my adult life I can tell you that in my opinion it "felt" hotter there than it did here. I guess because the humidity in Fla. and Carolina always made it feel muggy and sweaty.
This past summer I not only was here for XBiz but also flew out 3 different times and spent several days searching for homes. I love the heat.
Right now it's 86 degrees. Granted that's not 110 or 120. But I'm sitting here working in an office with 5 computers running...it's about 10 degrees hotter in this room than the rest of the house. I have the window open and the ceiling fan blowing and I'm very comfortable.
In comparison, this past summer we had temps hit 105 a few days where I was living in S.C. It felt a lot hotter to me than it did at 120 here in Vegas over the summer.
I'm just one of those people that likes it hot. My reasoning for not using air conditioning is that if I use it then my body will adjust to the airconditioned temperature. So if I'm in a buildiing that is 75 degrees...my body will acclimate itself to that temp. Then when I walk outside in 120 degrees...I melt. But if my body is already acclimated to the heat, then it's not so bad when I go outside.
I used to amaze people when I lived in Ft. Lauderdale because I simply lived without running an airconditioner during the day. They would all be sweating their asses off everytime they walked outside...but I'd be standing there in a black leather jacket in 100 degree balmy, muggy weather and be perfectly comfortable.
I do admit to cranking the AC at night when I go to sleep though. Better to hibernate that way.
