From Michigan to Alabama... Mike...

We have people from up North come in all the time for business; many of them on a weekly basis. A man from Michigan came in last week for 5 nights. He started coming last winter but had not been back since sometime in March. This time he brought in some wild Michigan blueberries for some of his colleagues and for some reason it made me think of you, Mike. Just thought I'd tell you that. lol On his second day here he came in for the evening and strolled over to the desk and said, "I just want you to know that I travel all over the US. Right now it's hot in Michigan, it's hot in Cleveland Ohio, it's hot in St. Louis and it's hot in Indiana. It's hot in New Mexico, Nevada and California. It's even hot in New England. But I don't know how you folks down here in the extreme Deep South survive! I've never, in my life, experienced anything like this! I can't breathe and my clothes have been soaked since I set foot off the plane. This air literally burns my skin down here and I feel like I'm in a steam room! It's hot back home in Michigan but I'll take 'Michigan hot' over this - ANY day! How do you people live like this and how long does summer last down here?" He was soooo serious about it! Hahahaha! He couldn't believe it when I told him that we get a few nice - warm days in March and first of April but then we pretty much go right into the hot weather from there and that it stays hot right on through till about November. We start getting some cooler nights in October (rare, but one or two in late September) and then it cools down a little. I explained to him that this past winter was unusually COLD here, but that an average daytime high in the winter for us is 55-65 and that the humidity and high dew points come and go in the winter. That we might have a couple of cold days with the heat full blast and then have our air conditioners on two days later in the winter. Then he said he heard about us having tornadoes fairly often... He said he couldn't imagine.... Just thought I'd share that with you Mike!

When in Vietnam it was TOO HOT. People couldn't sleep at night because the enemy was out to kill people at night. Daylight came around 6 am and the enemy stopped their attacks. So we got a nap from 6 am to 10 am. Around 10 am it was so hot one could not sleep. Wearing sweaty clothing was a daily thing....only time we got relief from the heat was during the monsoon season when it rained for what seemed forever. We did get a typhoon once (Asia equivalent of our hurricanes). So anyway...it was either too hot and sweaty or just plain wet to the skin.

I'll take Michigan heat and rains any time.
 
Hot and humid enough in St. Louis, MO! I am glad I don't live in Alabama or surrounding states....would be too miserable for me! We've had a heat wave most of the summer here, but supposed to cool down to 92 degrees! So, we might have to put on sweathers for the cold wave! :rofl: May God Bless and cool your weather and reduce the humidty for you very soon! Amen! :angel: Ma Betty
 
It's actually cooler on this side of the state today. We had some storms last night and lots of cloud cover today that has kept the sun from breaking through and driving the temps up. It's still 94 degrees here at my house (according to my thermometer and the radio) but our 'feels like" temp, due to humidity and dew point, is 106... or so the weather guy said on the noon news. Just doesn't feel THAT hot to me for some reason. Other side the state is under the heat advisory but we're not over here. It's still miserably hot though. Keep hearing a rumble off in the west so we might be going to get another storm.

Yah, I hear it is hard to paint the walls of the Igloo but it is easy to fix...just use IG-Glue
 
Now that's funny, Pete! :lol: Never heard that one before! :) May God Bless! Amen! :angel: Ma Betty
 
Michigan is God's country! :thumbup:
Do you know where in MI he is from? Yes it has been hot and humid this summer but we finally have a break today. Thank you Lord!
I have a saying up here "I'll will take 40 over 80 any day!" and I mean it!
It is funny to me when it turns 40 in the south and you all are freezing, When I was in Virginia one November with a bunch or relic hunters from all over the US.
At the motel it was 40 outside and I had fun with them southern boys. I was wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and going bare foot, and the were shoked. I really got them when I asked if the thought they would let us go swimming in the outdoor pool! :surprised::lmfao:
Now on the other hand I was on a mission trip in SC over the 4th of July week one year and like to have died in the heat and humidity. :hot::stretcher:
Not sure if he brought you wild blueberries as we have many farms that raise them here and they are the best! :thumbup:
Thanks for thinking of me!
 
Michigan is God's country? Hmmmm... I don't know about that. This guy was talking about how much he hated the cold there and had even talked to his wife about coming back to Bama with him in the fall to possibly look into moving here. He had told her all about the mountains and beauty we have here and she loved the pictures he had brought home from previous trips. However, he said that after experiencing our summer heat, that possible move would be up for some debate. lol

I'm not sure what part of Michigan Mr. H. is from. I'm off today but will pull up his profile tomorrow and see what it says. If the guest makes the reservations, then we usually have their info. If their company makes the reservations we don't always get it. I'll let you know what I find out. As for the blueberries, he didn't bring any to ME! When he arrived and I checked him in, another guy came down and met him in the lobby. That's when he opened up a cooler he had brought and handed him a bag filled with blueberries and told him he had brought him some wild blueberries from Michigan, and had brought some for the other guys as well. Mr. H. isn't one of our nicest guests, to be perfectly honest. I've never had a problem with him personally, but I know he has caused issues with other employees. He is rather strange, to say the least, but he's always been nice and respectful to me.

Highs in the 40's is right about where I like it! I love cool and cold weather. You won't find me to be freezing in the 40's! I'd be loving it! My sister lives in SC; what part of SC were you in? Just think about how hot it was there, and then add some more heat and humidity to THAT and then you've got what we have here. We are usually hotter since we are a little further south. If you "like to have died" there, then you'd be sure to kick the bucket here. lol

If you look at the map and see our mitten you know MI was touched by the hand of God! :thumbup:
I was in Charleston when I was down there re-building hurricane victim homes.
If he was thinking about moving from MI to that heat down there he must have hit his head! :stretcher::lmfao:
