I lived in South Florida most of my life until I moved to North Georgia. And even the heat in the mid-80s was miserable because of the high humidity. It is supposed to be the in 90s tomorrow and I have to go grocery shopping, but I will go from my air-conditioned house to my air-conditioned car and into an air-conditioned store.
