I exercise my mind by reading in the air-conditioned library or my den.


Physical exercise: Too hot. Too humid. Too boring. Too mind-numbing. Too easy to forego.


For those of us accustomed to having the real four seasons, I don't think you can ever "acclimate" to the horrendous Florida weather.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is going to put the grammar cops out of business. The next generation won't even use a keyboard to communicate in writing.

I CAN address the meaning of those words, but I won't. The dictionary is your friend.

I wouldn't recommend moving to Florida if you think that North Carolina is too humid in the summer.

It took about 2 years to get acclimated after we moved here in 1972.

One of the first things I did was to install air conditioning in my wife's car. AC was invented in Florida.

We have lived in 7 different homes in Florida, not one has had a chimney. All have had AC.

Our beaches are excellent.

As a NC resident who visits FL 6-7 times/year, I can second this. There have been many times when it has been hotter and more humid in NC than when I stepped off the plane in FL.

I have a mild version of a rare skin disease (a variety of Ichthyosis) that makes me extremely heat-averse, and I do not sweat like a normal person does. During the summer months, I limit outside time to morning or late afternoon/evening. If I have to go out during the hottest times of the day, it's generally a quick walk between one air-conditioned environment to the next (house to car, car to store, rinse and repeat). Even the most frigid gym environments aren't cold enough to keep me comfortable enough to exercise, so I usually walk the malls or exercise in the pool.

During all the years I lived in Central Florida I just did my walking/jogging either in the evening after the sun was pretty much down or early in the morning before the heat really cranked up.

High humidity is the primary reason I retired "in the Rockys or west of them". I couldn't do it back east. I'd be miserable all the time.

I get a chuckle out of the several who mentioned living is a four-season climate. I guess I'm in a two-season climate. North Idaho! We have long, really long, glorious summers and long, really long, dreary winters with snow. Spring and Autumn only seem to last about a week and a half every time they come around.
