Yep, I remember walking to town (about a mile) in my mom's home town in western Oklahoma when the temp was about 105.
I'd rather have done that than the many miles I walked in 95 degree weather in New Orleans...hot and humid.
People are amazed when I tell them I don't put on the air conditioner unless it is 85 degrees or more in the house. Don't put on the heat above 60, either. I grew up having to live with the heat, but it taught me to appreciate the two or three months of cool weather....Summer running from mid May until mid October...

I fought with Wisconsin over something like that. I started getting bills and threats from the WI revenue department, and I had the devil's own time trying to convince them that I had never lived in WI.
I finally sent a photocopy of my marriage certificate, since it took place in the year they were dunning me for, and lucky for me, it was 1700 miles away from WI.
It still ticks me off when I think about it.

I do understand. At least this isn't a case of ID theft. We just happen to have the same last married name. Neither name is particularly uncommon.

It's all in what you're used to.
I spent four years in the Treasure Valley in Idaho. Summers were every bit as hot as in SoCal and, in the winter, it got down to near zero overnight.
You simply adjust. No big deal.
That said, it's easier to adjust to colder -- adding additional layers -- than it is to adjust to hotter. You can only take off just so much to try and keep cool.

I suppose that, if someone REALLY wanted to find me, they could, but I have "appropriate measures" in place with which I am comfortable.Yeah, aren't those automated machine guns great?

You're welcome. I try to share the particularly outstanding things I run across, and when I got the link in an email, I deemed it worthy to pass along.
What's keeping you busy, these days?
I've been enjoying some of the philosophical work of Dr. Peter Kreeft, lately.
http://www.peterkreeft.com/
I have also, recently, read "Waking The Dead", by John Eldredge. I think you may have been pinged to something I posted about that. Anyway, he points out some things Christians commmonly say that have obscured very vital and freeing Truth about who we are and what Christ has done for us. It's not as if we were looking at the wrong picture; but as if we had the picture turned wrong, and Eldredge came up and said, "Here, THIS way," as he gently turned it right-side-up.
The result is spiritually revolutionizing. I highly reccommend it.

I think you may have been pinged to something I posted about that. I missed so many pings. But just keep pinging me - sounds really interesting.
I'm still enjoying a few days left I got before start teaching Italian (summer class.) So you know, it gets a bit difficult to come to the computer when one is having such a good time, lol, not to say that I don't have a good time here, but you know...
To: Victoria Delsoul
Ooohh, Italian; the language of the soul.
I had to sing in Italian for a voice class; a baritone score entitled "Se Nel Ben Sempre Incostante" that was, I believe, originally scored for mezzo-soprano. I always thought the expression of the sentiments sounded better in Italian than English.
The stanzas, read:
Se nel ben, se nel ben,
Sempre inconstante fortuna vagante,
Di far si stabile uso non ha,
Anco mutabile nel mal sarà.
Se non può, se non può,
D'astro inclemente pupilla dolente
Lo sdegno frangere, ne il ciel mutar,
Non giova a piangere, nel sospirar.

Se Nel Ben Sempre IncostanteBy Alessandro Stradella, isn't it?
To: Victoria Delsoul
Yes, it is. Though, it having been so long ago, I had to look it up.
