own in Florida there are what we called "air conditioning hermits". They never venture outside, they have everything delivered: food, clean laundry, etc. They usually have this pasty white complexion. I could never understand why someone would work all their lives, move to Florida when they retire and never go outside again because it's so friggin hot.
I have some friends in Va Beach like that, though they're not quite as extreme (they at least go out to get food, laundry, etc). However, we went to the Outer Banks one summer and it was tough getting them outside for more than a couple hours at a time.
I recall, before my Dad installed AC in our house, I had a lot more tolerance for heat than the other kids at school.
Funny you mention that... When I had a VW Beetle without AC, I could tool around all summer without feeling particularly hot, but now, I have to have the AC on and cooling as soon as I get in the car.
BTW, I just got back from a 16 mile bike ride (road) while towing my daughter in a Burley trailer. Current temp is 86degF and humidity is 61%. I drank about 60oz of water during the ride. I made darn sure Abby drank water periodically. The water was back there with her, but I stopped every 2-3 miles and had her drink some while I watched.
