rebeccmeisterAlso, when it's humid here, I'm reminded of the tropics. Which makes me think I should be planting tropical fruit trees.
I have to confess, I'm not sure that tropical climates agree with my body any more than the desert agreed with it. I sweat pretty easily, so I quickly reach the point of being drippingly sweaty. I'm not sure how it will interact with my generally oily skin, either. But on the other hand, I almost have an easier time dealing with this place if I just think of it as its own, crazy tropical country.
Also, on a random note - the Aggies (that would be, the students of Texas A&M University) have some pretty entertaining military regalia, at least in comparison to the ROTC uniforms visible around the ASU campus. The Aggies wear spurs! And boots! (at least, the guys do). Not only that, they have to graduate from "training spurs" to "real" spurs! It also looks like they dress in full regalia just about every day of the week. Although I am personally a pacifist, I have respect for people who have dedicated their lives to service to this country. It's just...spurs!
On top of that, it looks like just about every single person on campus wears a piece of Aggie regalia just about every day of the week, whether it's shorts or pants or hats or shirts. Lots and lots of maroon, everywhere, all of the time. Three of my four educational institutions (high school, grad school, here) have maroon as one of the school colors. I might be persuaded to wear maroon myself.
