Most all of us who live here love and embrace this city, more than I ever felt in Houston or San Antonio.

Originally Posted By Labuda Yeah, well, be glad you weren't in one of the places that gets humid, fkurucz - Houston or Corpus in August is HORRID. Here in the SA/Austin area we get hot, sure, but not the humidity those other places get. Dabob - if ever you decide you want to see the best part of Texas, let me know - I'd be happy to show you around.

The last time I was in SA it was hot as a blast furnace and humid as a sauna. I was so glad when that trade show was over (I got drafted in to doing booth duty). I recall the first night I went out for a walk on the Riverwalk. Even though it was after dark I was sweatin like a pig! Like I said, I know some people like it that way. More power to them.
