Wow, the weather in DC is almost exactly the same as the weather in St. Louis! We are a tiny bit hotter, and you are a tiny bit more humid, but its only a few percentage points off.
Speaking of which, time to hop on my bike and ride home from work.
peace,
sam

Mmm...east coast winters. And summers... Speaking of sweating out your innards. I lost almost 60 pounds riding in Boston humidity last summer. Hooray for air so thick you need a machete to get through it.

OK, so its now just after 7, about 2 hours after posting my initial post, and I just got home. It wasn't all commute, I had to run a few errands around town. But damn, I think I lost some serious weight, which is bad, since I only weigh about 120. 
I miss Colorado, since it was hot, but NEVER humid. And I miss Santa Cruz, where it was 72 degrees and blue sky 300 days out of the year.. Screw missouri summers.
peace,
sam

the best humidity cure in nyc is to get on the river. there is free kayaking at BPC, and great kayak tours at 23rd st and the Hudson. All the mucky, musty humidity smog just blows right off, plus it is usually about 5 degrees cooler. Im trying to work out a new triathalon: riding fixed, kayaking, and.... (so far all i can come up with is eating burgers, cuz i get hungry from the first two)
