OK, I couldn't resist this discussion.  I've lived in Phoenix (but its a dry
heat), Arizona.  Lakeland (hot and wet) Florida...but my un air conditioned
time in Boston (well way out west of Boston) has been the most
uncomfortable.  Hard to sleep, hard to work  (I work out of my non-air
conditioned house) impossible to cook....its not that we're wimps...its just
we don't have to live with it so we aren't adapted.  Its like snow storms in
Atlanta.  A couple of inches does the city in because they don't have to be
prepared, whereas those same inches would make a new englander scoff.

It's all relative...but I am with Amanda in that anything over 100 either
humid hot or dry hot is stinking hot...no matter what.

Not at all...you withstand the snow, cold and ice...these temps w/o AC would
make the most diehard Floridian, Texan, or Phoenician wilt.
