I agree with you about bein' on the lake in Michigan... that would seem to be a requirement for "pleasant," especially in the summer. I have nasty memories of the "year without air conditioning" when we moved into our house there... which is a loooong story that shall remain untold, mainly to protect me from assassins.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-30748920256625530842014-02-12T14:02:27.595-07:002014-02-12T14:02:27.595-07:00Hmph.

Some of THE worst weather I ever experienced was on the Mrs. Hippy Gulf Coast when I was in tech school back in '64 and living in a barracks... three men to a room... without air conditioning.

Well, I've been to New Orleans, and it wasn't pleasant. This was before air conditioning became affordable, and the power lines were upgraded to handle the load without melting. Yes, you would have to factor in humidity, which pretty much voids any 'pleasant' scores in states that fly the rebel flag.It's a dry heatnoreply@blogger.com
