I wish I could upload the Google maps photo that shows my tiny house in rural Ohio surrounded on every single side (for miles) by corn and soy fields. As I'm already dealing with menopause right now and hot flashes, the humidity is absolutely oppressive. I keep telling the neighbor kids to keep an eye on me when I'm out doing yard work - they may be the first ever to be eyewitnesses the phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion.

At least in the city, you could open a fire hydrant....

I used to stay with my grandmother in Flushing, Queens, during the summer. It was SO HOT in the city! Sidewalks, bus exhaust, her little fourth floor apartment. But I think you had it worse, Cinda.

My friend from the Dominican Republic said growing up in the Bronx was insufferable in the summer. She agrees Ohio is bad but maintains NYC was way worse.
