- you take three showers a day so that you can handle your own smell
- you start sweating as soon as you turn the cold shower off
- in order to get dressed without your clothes sticking to you, you stand directly in front of the fan when dressing
- you change your clothes three times a day
- you leave butt prints on chairs
- you stick to vinyl furniture
- you never raise your arms because you know you have armpit sweat marks
- you don't bother too much with make-up because you sweat it all off by noon anyway
- you are dripping and panting after climbing five stairs
- the sun dries your laundry in five minutes
- plastic bags melt to your car when driving home from the market
- you plan your weekends around what restaurants and shopping centers are air conditioned
- you watch movies in a foreign language that you cannot understand just because you can rest in the air conditioned theater
- you can sometimes be found with your head stuck in the freezer
- you dream about shaving your head four nights in a row

No. shaving. of. the. head.
My mom lived in Phoenix one summer in the 1930's. She said they would buy blocks of ice and put it in front of the fan to cool the air as it blew on them.
I feel your pain, but I don't think I could do the humidity. When is it winter? That's when I want to come visit you.
