    From the article: "A joke making the rounds: The only difference between me and barbequed meat is a little bit of cumin."

    Not really, I grew up in a cool climate, so that's what I'm used to. + 30 or so is about the worst it gets here in the summer - and that's typically only a for a few days. The average daily high is around +23/24 for July & August.

    On the flip side, I don't even zip up my winter jacket until it hits -25 or so, as cold weather doesn't faze me one bit.
