Posts Just For You- This Week at ActiveRain July 16 to July 22, 2023

  

Every day there is something to learn here at ActiveRain.  With this series, I try to highlight posts that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, something about Real Estate or other professions, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

Anna Banana Kruchten Phoenix Broker Thankfully, we were under 100 degrees (I think)  John Wieland I used to live in Delray Beach and loved it. The humidity in Houston is much worse than Florida. We don't have the ocean breezes.

LOL John Wieland it is a dry heat here in AZ!

Oh I so remember the high humidity in MN where I grew up. 90% felt like a sweltering oven Kathy Streib and one had to take a shower every time they went out in it.  Ocean breezes sound so good to me right now.......ahhhhh
