   P.S.  They says its the humidity, not the heat that gets you.  Well when   
   its over 115F the heat will definitely kill you, but a flood in the shop   
   raise the humidity to southern swamp land levels.  At only 95 (normally   
   nice outdoor weather for me) the humidity after the flood was miserable   
   while I was moving the lathe and fixing the plumbing.

   ------------------------------   
   The highest I've acclimated to was 105F when I lived in a drafty and poorly   
   insulated top floor apartment, really a finished attic. My father's family   
   is from Georgia and I didn't mind the summer heat there after two weeks. Two   
   summers ago I was running the sawmill in 95F heat, though under a rain   
   canopy.   
      
   Mom's side is colonial New England. I can also acclimate to cold like them   
   but it takes a while. I'm not nearly as cold tolerant as the Native   
   Americans I knew, just pretty good for a white guy. When I was little the   
   bedrooms were unheated and the house cooled quickly after the last evening   
   coal fire died. I still heat with wood, the original plus my added   
   insulation hold the heat much longer.   
      
   Now my resting comfort range is low 80's indoors in summer and mid to high   
   50's in winter. You can have Arizona all to yourself.
