Ramadan 2010 runs from August 11 through September 9.
Yes, it’s hot in Texas, but I love it. I grew up in Fort Worth and live in Plano. I’ve lived through the hot, hot, hot days in the ’80s. I even rode my bike in the middle of the day in the middle of summer. Now, not all of Texas has great hot weather. Go near the gulf and you’ll hit humidity city.
I lived in Washington, DC for six years. I’d be talking to a colleague on the plaza in the shade at 8:00am when my clothes stuck to me even though it was only 85 degrees. Humidity did it. I’ll take Dallas/Fort Worth 105 over DC 85. We also get snow here, so we do experience all four seasons.
Gone skiing and enjoyed the skiing part, but wimpy about the temperature part. Goodness knows, I covered up and layered lots.
