Ärende: Hot and humid!
======================
Hi Hap,

->  hn> Oh come now Ruth! Everyone knows that the WHOLE east coast
->  hn> is hot and humid during the summer! Cool and damp I could handle

-> Not quite the whole east coast.  The upper reaches of New England can be
-> quite cool.  Upstate NY can vary from quite warm in some parts to cool
-> in others (Adirondacks).  Savannah seemed extra hot & humid last summer
-> as it was the first summer we didn't have the trade winds we'd gotten
-> used to in HI to moderate the temperatures.

 hn> I don't consider upstate NY as east "coast" but I'll give you a
 hn> bonus on Maine and New hampshire...but they get hot and
 hn> humid at times as well! I've been in Wash DC and NYC in the summer
 hn> and that hits my hot and humid scale at maximum!

I know, technically upstate NY isn't east coast but NY is considered one
of the mid Atlantic coastal states so...................I've experienced
a good number of hot (upper 80s), humid days in the catskills during
summer with no air conditioning.  But, you're right, NYC and DC are
really humid in the summer, as is eastern NY.  You can about wring the
water out of the air.

-> We had a yummy seafood meal (sauteed shrimp and scallops) over at Uncle
-> Bubba's on Friday night.  Steve had key lime pie for dessert--a nice
-> tang to it without being puckery; I had chcolate creme brule.  The only
-> objection I has was the strawberry garnish was obviously a pre frozen
-> berry. In the different times we've gone there, we've not yet had a
-> disappointing meal. This time we finally got to meet Uncle Bubba (Earl
-> Hires) in person.

 hn> Sounds like a great meal! Good to have a place you
 hn> enjoy and can count on for good food!

It is our favorite seafood place--the menu doesn't have a huge selection
but the basics (shrimp, scallops, oysters, fish) can be fried, sauteed,
blackened or broiled.  We splurged on the "Shore Is Good" seafood dip as
an appetiser and had dessert which did add to the bill but the prices
are in line with all the other places around here.

Catch you later,
