There is so much invaluable information on the Internet! I'm guessing this was a government funded study..........
Congrats to our sisters in Phoenix for being No. 1 in yet another category!!!

Does that mean our beloved HRQ is a sweathog?

plynnl · July 2008

I am across the river from Portland, OR and we are 98th. Can't get much drier than that. except for Seattle and San Francisco.

Paul in Cannon Beach · July 2008

Its hard to sweat in the rain...

plynnl · July 2008

Good point.

ritaanz · July 2008

Jim, you are a brave man. But ...............WATCH IT!!!

ray a · July 2008

Ah... another sweathog from Phoenix....

ritaanz · July 2008

I refuse to stoop to your level. I do not enjoy the gutter as much as you seem to.

ray a · July 2008

That was an endearing term we used for women phys ed majors and athletes back in college days. Call me a sexist pig.

NaeNae55 · July 2008

Sexist pig!

What? He asked us to.

ritaanz · July 2008

Endearing? Did you say it was an endearing term? Sweat Hog?

Before long , you will be trying to convince us that Sweat Hog is also appealing. Or, attractive, Or, I know, charming.

Come on, give me a break. Your momma really did not do a good job in the "tell the truth" area.

ritaanz · July 2008

Glistening? Here we go again. I give up. You win.

ACU Frank · July 2008

I thought it was a dry heat!

ACU Frank · July 2008

Did some checking, and as I suspected, it's a bogus list. It didn't take humidity into account at all. Having lived in KC for 15 years and St. Louis for almost 10, I can tell you they're a lot further away from each other than 2 spots on this list.

Idiots.

allsteaks · July 2008

But Frank most surveys or lists or based on limited or slanted data, could expect this one to be any different. I've also lived in KC and currently reside in a sweat enriched area (SE Kansas). We probably have as many cases of dehydration as Phoenix does, it just isn't tracked statistically.
And Rita I only started the sweat thing not the sweat hog thing. Sweathogs would likely only be attractive to another sweathog, or a regular hog who is diverse.
And remember that sweathog is not a gendered term.

HRQ · July 2008

Odd that Phoenix is #1, yet Omaha is only #55.

I spent last week's vacation near Omaha and sweated far more there than I do here. Pardon me, I [i]glowed.[/i] Or maybe it just felt that way because [b]nothing ever dries out in that freaking humidity.[/b] Every other day it was sunny, humid and hot. The alternate days were rainy, windy and hot.

Had a great time though. How could I not, being with my kids and family, staying next to a lake and having a pontoon boat handy?
