Hey Clay, When I checked yesterday, the weather channel said the humidity was only 28% (at about 6pm). Maybe it was higher earlier in the day.......Imagine what it would have felt like if the humidity had been 80-90%!! Victoria and I experienced that in Maryland each summer.....it was gross!! It all feels good now though 'cause I'm done with year one!!
