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.  |
thats what i do. i sit up here with my computers topless working with no AC - even in the summer. this way i can walk to my truck, hike in the desert, and drive with my windows down and not have a problem. i dont pick up many chicks, but at least i am comfortable ;)
when i went to NY in the summer of 06 it was so hot (80f) humid (65%) it felt like i was in a shower room. i did not like it at all. and to think i spent 25 years there. wtf was i thinking!
