I know I'm too pastey for the south, I spent like the entire summer outside in north dakota and the only way to describe the way I tanned is it emphasized my whiteness. I'll need to pick up some shoe polish or some other sort of mexican camoflague.
Houston ain't so bad. In fact, right now, it's really nice. There are 2 weeks in the fall and 2 weeks in the spring where it's awesome weather, the rest is either too hot/humid or rainy / cold. If it stayed like it is now all year, I couldn't afford to live here and they'd call it San Diego.
