California is in drought too, and some of its great agricultural areas are suffering. How come the US doesn't any, or many, desalination plants? Saudis use them, I'd think we would also, at least for agriculture or something.

:blink: Especially in coastal areas- I'm not sure about west coast, but over here, coastal preservation is a huge political card, and if you're pumping coastal waters, it could slow dune erosion...

:blink: Philly and the Bucks-Montgomery-Chester area in general had at least three droughts severe enough to warrant water rationing throughout the 90s. Also, 96 and humid being bounced off the concrete jungle in Center City absolutely sucks.

Yeah?  Well try 106 and humid sometimes.

Dude, chill out.  It gets above 100 almost every year in Philly, and it gets above 100 every year (except for this one) in Kentucky, and both places are extremely humid year-round.

Also, I should mention that I've been to Houston four times, all in June, and it was at least 95 most days I was there if not hotter.

Texas is hell. You got lucky. I locked myself away indoors for half the year when I lived in Houston. Fucking 105 percent humidity.

I work with a dude who grew up in Rhode Island but lived in Houston for three years before he moved here.  He didn't complain about the heat/humidity so much as the crime, traffic, and constant flooding.  One time he had to 'rescue' his wife from the high-rise she worked in downtown because there was so much flooding normal cars couldn't move around, but he happened to have a 4WD truck jacked up on monster tires.  :cool:

It's like that here.  It's always fucking humid.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
