Dude.. Florida's Gulf coast is about Newlyweds and nearly deads, newly married and the nearly buried...It's August and by the time you walk out of your house and get in your car you a soaking wet from the humidity...

Humidity? OMG! You live in the fabled American Tropics fer cryin out loud, what did you expect! Do you think Hemingway cared about a little sweat? No. I'm pretty sure he punched sweat square in the face just before ripping that urinal off the wall of his favorite bar... and besides perspiration is your bodies natural cooling system. If you spend your days running from air conditioned house, to air conditioned car, to air conditioned job you're only making it more difficult for your bodies climate control. Maybe you can't control the climate at work but when you get home, turn off the AC, open the windows, put on some breathable fibers and perspire. A little secret: Drinking hot coffee or tea before you leave your house will raise your internal body temperature making the air feel cooler. That's why Bedouins drink boiling mint tea in the middle of the day in the Sahara desert. Anyway, If you really want to make the SW FLA coast more exotic, get a ninja suit and a chainsaw and cut down a bunch Australian Malalucas the state planted to drain America's everglades!
