I live in Wisconsin, which is pretty much smackdab in the middle of the United States and on the northern edge of the middle.  It still gets hot here, even though we are farther north than a lot of states.  My reference point for hot, is what it is, for the weather I’ve experienced.  Yet, everytime I complain somewhere that it’s hot, people tell me their weather is hotter and I can’t possibly be hot.  Well, I’ve never been to Louisiana, Texas or Oklahoma.  Maybe I don’t know what hot is, compared to those places, but I just don’t have the point of reference (and I’m not sure I want it!)  I live next to a rather huge puddle, called Lake Michigan that makes our air pretty moist, too, even up in the 80’s on occasion (although granted that was back in the summer of 1995!)  I’m not a big fan of hot, humid weather and it makes me cranky.  I don’t like to sweat and I don’t like to sweat when I’ve hardly exerted myself.  To me, it does get hot here, okay?
