retrosurfer1959 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm always amazed when I go out west how the sweat just disappears! Down here you wear it all day. Out there is just evaporates. I remember hopping out of a pool in Phoenix and not even needing a towel. Poof... you're dry. And' date=' yes, I find I drink more water out there - the dry heat dehydrates me more, even though I find it more comfortable. On a related (GIBSON) note... do you westerners humidify your guitars? [/quote'] Yep it's a dry heat most of the time but then again so is Napalm. 107 today and humid Monsoon time. I know what you mean though Ive been in places where I got out of the shower and felt like I needed another shower. that said AZ is nice the winter are amazing and everything is air conditioned so it's not to bad. Never lived in Florida but have a sister in Naples and last year I was driving over that way from Miami and two things stood out how everything was green either green or moldy I guess and then the bugs. I knew I was in Bug heaven when you see the huge screens over all the pools and thats the only driving trip Ive been on where I had to stop about every hour to scrapes dead bugs and juice off the windshield. And the Guitar comment Yes when it's in the really low humidity times I do have a large humidifier in the music room and I case and humidify all the acoustic and hollow bodies pretty much year round. if I don't run the humidifier the guitars will get down towards the 40% mark in the room.

Silverbursted Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I didnt mean anything when dissing Toronto. I was born and raised there' date=' so I feel I can give an honest opinion. The Toronto I knew and loved has gone. The violence, the crumbling infrastructure, overcrowding etc. Not too mention is becoming far too multi-cultural for my taste. People from violent countries are bringing and have brought their violent ways with them. Nope...not for me.[/quote'] Amazing, last time I was in Toronto was in 1976 for a Who concert, and was astonished that you could not even find a cigarette butt on the ground. Times sure are changing. Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackWhiskeyBlaze Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hopefully not as a result of Katrina. Fortunately not, though we did come up here during Katrina, when we couldn't get back into NOLA. We actually were fortunate enough not to sustain any damage, but with and without the results of Katrina, Orleans is currently on the decline, and it was time for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
