It is 10:30pm here in Baton Rouge, and it is still 87degrees!! I walked outside the office at 9pm tonight and it took my breath. The air is so heavy its hard to breath in. People dont understand the difference in the humidity down here. A friend lives in Tacoma and was always kidding me because of my "Damn its hot, you just dont understand" comments, then she decided to bring her family to Disney in August last year!! She asked me "How the hell do you people live down there????".hehe I have a 24yr old gelding and I go out and hose him off twice a day while he is in the paddock just to keep him cool. All the fans do is microwave him, the air is so hot.
