Ärende: RE: Hot and humid!
==========================
Hiya Ruth!
-> 
-> -> 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.
-> 
->  hn> Yep, one of the things I like best about where I am
->  hn> is that our summers are cooler, and drier than most
-> 
-> I've also seen you write about them getting into the mid to upper 90s
-> and no AC.  Doesn't sound like any fun at all.
-> 

There are rare occasions when we venture into the 90's. It
does happen, but thankfully not often! When it DOES
happen, you can tell the locals by the increased traffic
headed to the mountains (and looking for a snowbank)!
And even on those days when it gets up into the 90's
it usually drops down into the 60's or lower at night...
which is nice for cooling down...but not so nice for 
growing hot weather veggies!

->  hn> would think. And that's just fine with me!! At least
->  hn> in Hawaii I had the tradewinds to make it more
-> 
-> I think we both miss them. (G)
-> 

It has been 35 years and I still miss em!
My submarine is having a crew reunion in 
Hawaii in may...but I won't be able to go.

-> 
->  hn> comfortable! My sister in Knoxville TN has a dehumidifier
->  hn> in her house...it sucks enough water out of the air
->  hn> to keep her garden watered!!
-> 
-> How big a spread does she have?  I wouldn't be surprised at the amount
-> of water they can pull in; the south is downright humid.
-> 
I think she has 10-15 acres? But not all of it
is garden!

-> ->  hn> Sounds like a great meal! Good to have a place you
-> ->  hn> enjoy and can count on for good food!
->  hn> ->
-> -> 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.
-> 
->  hn> I'd MUCH rather go to a place with a limited menu that
->  hn> they did well than a place with pages and pages that
->  hn> all were poorly done...and there are plenty of those
-> 
-> Same here. We're going to another place, The Shellfish House, for a Hail
-> & Farewell tonight.  Get to check out their seafood.
-> 
->  hn> places around already (olive garden etc)!
-> 
-> I'd rather go to Carrabba's than OG.  Had neither one in HI, both within
-> a few miles of us here in Savannah.  Both packedto the gillsFriday
-> nights.
-> 
-> 
We have a Red lob and an Olive Garden nearby, both seem to 
be doing a full house every night...every time we've eaten 
there however I've been less than impressed...OG does have 
good salads though!
chat with you soon
