I got home and walked out of the Richmond VA airport, at night mind you, into air that felt like a hot wet wool blanket, and I almost cried.

I thought I knew humidity (the Ohio River Valley is a freaking SWAMP in the summer), until I went to NOLA in August. We (all of us from Cincinnati) opened the car doors and said, in unison, "Holy SHIT."

Heh. Yeah, I will always remember coming back from Hawaii (which is not exactly dry) and getting to the Houston airport and being all "oh, yeah, humidity" until we got all the way to NO and got smacked in the face with a wall of watery air exiting the plane. It was a very Crocodile Dundee "you call that humidity?" moment.

ETA: I actually don't hate humidity that much. My allergies, weirdly, bothered me a whole lot less there than they do here, for one thing. Towels that never dry, though, don't miss that.

Oh my god, that sandwich was so good.

Toasted English muffin, lean herb crusted roast beef, mayo, dijon, Bubbies prepared horseradish, Bread and butter pickles and a bit of raw onion, and pepper.

I know those are some strong flavors but they all balanced perfectly.

I don't have red meat that often but that was perfect.

Best sandwich I've had all month.

That is my kind of sandwich.

I love humidity. I mean, 90% is a little excessive, but I much prefer it to having my skin dry out and all my clothes geting staticky and being shocked every time I touch something metal.

Man, Idaho is making a serious push. Good salary bump, great relocation, good benefits.

I'd rather be dry and be able to breathe. I don't have many allergies to outside stuff, just indoor stuff. When it's so humid you can't even sweat until you get back inside where the air is drier? I seriously cannot function like that. I'm grateful for modern technology to keep the air in my house reasonably cool and dry, but going outside during times of high humidity is a major undertaking for me, and having to keep my house closed up means indoor allergies get worse.

My environmental allergies are to mold (severe), dust (mild), and a fall-pollinating tree (very mild).

Yeah, I'm all tree and grass pollen, mold and dust and animal dander don't bother me at all.

I don't really know what to wish for with all that, Dana.

Having lived in dry and humid climes, I note only that when it's "cold" here (30-40 degrees) it can feel pretty miserable because it's a wet damp cold. However, my perpetually dry skin in New England enjoys the humidity (both cold and hot) much more. We all have our own unique tolerance (or lack thereof) to stimuli.

I may be more or less used to the humidity here but it doesn't mean I'm not sad when it gets here in full summer force.

Yeah, I'm all tree and grass pollen, mold and dust and animal dander don't bother me at all.

I'm allergic to ALL OF THAT. Plus probably other stuff as well.

The humidity doesn't bother me horribly until it's August and we've hit the third week in a row of 90+ temperatures and jungle humidity. That's overkill.

That doesn't mean I don't love central air, because I believe it's common knowledge that I would marry it if I could.

I get really pissed off about summer heat/humidity in September, because my New England expectations are that it should at least be starting to cool off. But nope!

I would die without central air. I almost did a couple years ago when ours had to be replaced. And that was in April.
