h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun... so goes my favorite song by Noel Coward, because it fits the climate here in southeast Texas nearly year round. Right now it's about 90 F (32 C) with a 60-80% relative humidity, and at night it's been aroung 75 F (24 C) with 100% humidity. In another month or so, it get up to 100 F (38 C). It's amazing that we don't take siestas around here as a rule, instead of a individual's choice. Oh, yeah; it's because as former British subjects we're used to working our asses off from sunrise to sunset!
