fortunately, pretty much every house we have looked at for either renting or buying in the raleigh area has central air.

Here it has been pushing 100 for the past few days, with promises that its going to downpour and cool everything off.

I am reading on weather.com about the rainstorm i am supposedly sitting in while staring out the window at a perfectly clear blue sky. the upside is that the humidity has tapered off, so at least i can breathe.

However, every tree within 10 miles has dumped pollen on our neighborhood, so everything in yellow. its so thick, if you drop something on the ground, little puffs of pollen roll up from the ground. The good thing is that no one seems to be allergic to it :)''otherwise i would be a swolen runny-nosed corpse right now.

You lot don't reaslise how lucky you are to have that kind of weather!

why do you say that?

I love american heat and humidity! It feels so good on your skin. Over here it's just clouds and wind all the time, with the occasional bit of rain.

"The grass is always greener...."

Ah yes, so good on the skin...bubbling, frying red skin:D
