okay, fine: not vegetable, therefore animal or mineral. funny how you object to having the same sort of underhanded tactic used against you.

Care to address the substance of the response? Specifically, when you read the actual complaint, it is a prison labor camp. The question of whether his claims are supported is a different issue.

Socks --> Flip-flops, Flip-flops --> Socks.

Winter-type weather doesn't really kick-in until January (sometimes February) here, when you have to wear long pants and maybe a sweater. But after six years living here I complain just like a native when the day time temps drop into the high 40s (Fahrenheit, folks - this is the U.S. of A.). even though I've spent much colder winters in central Europe, the North American mountain west, and the Korean peninsula.

Change back to shorts in April, and wear as little as possible from June through September, unless you like soggy underwear. At first it was hard to take the heat and humidity (this morning at 5:00 a.m. it was 79 degrees Fahrenheit and 98% humidity for a heat-index around 85F), but over time the blood thins and when the occasional cold front drops the temp below 80F you feel like you're standing in a walk-in freezer.

Its not bad if you can stay close to the beach and the afternoon sea-breezes. I spend a lot of my free time on or in the water and that helps too. If it wasn't for air-conditioning this place would still be mostly pine and palmetto swampland inhabited by a few crazy crackers harvesting turpentine.
